Why are Asians so much better in STEM fields than other races?

If by better you mean prolific then it's a simple matter of population.

>consistently been ranked
>gooks pat each other on the back
>go on Veeky Forums to tell everyone
maybe theyll learn how to stop starving to death and killing themselves too

>There are over 1.3 billion Han Chinese living in the world right now.

At this point I feel like statistics and probability don't even matter because of course your population is going to get it's share of geniuses.

Even if your population's IQ averaged at 80 you could easily get geniuses from a population of 1.3 billion.

Biology is truly a numbers game.

what's so innovative about south korea?

Because in general they have a better ethic when it comes to education.

The saying "Cs get degrees" doesn't exist in the East.

Start reading.

>2000
China's GDP was 1.2 Trillion
Per capita was $960

>2016
11.2 Trillion
Per capita is $8100

Around 900% increase.

Also on STEM graduates in 2016

>China
4.7 M

>India
2.6 M

>US
568K

The number will go exponential within the next 10 years as those two countries will bring more people out of poverty.

>non answer
Great example of modern Korean innovation, user. You sure showed him a sound and logical argument.

>empty stats
It's nice and all, but so long as native Chinese have such little confidence in their currency (to the point where the rich Chinese feel safer keeping their assets out of country), they will never become more than the paper tiger they have been.

>maybe theyll learn how to stop starving to death and killing themselves too
who the hell is starving and killing each other in Singapore, South Korea, and Japan?

Rich chinese are moving money away not because of their confidence in local currency, but rather to hide assets from Chinese government. Its the same thing with the US hiding money in ireland/singapore/some islands in the middle of nowhere. They don't fear the collapse of dollar whey they do that.

Asians might have a high IQ but white people are responsible for 99% of inventions, which means they are lacking in creativity.

*Asians are lacking in creativity

More likely its a matter of industrial development.

When the Asian giant nations becomes developed, their patent rate/invention rate would increase exponentially as a result.

Japan/South Korea are already in the top leads due to their developed status.

inb4 "fake news"

>implying
They are simply the best at bullshitting, memorizing and down right cheating

...

Asians are crazy disciplined and work long hours. Much respect for that.
Chinese education is highly authoritarian though, teachers/profs are the be-all end-all in what they say and you can't question that shit.
In contrast Western education can be quite liberal and one of the main things you're expected to learn to do is question authority.

Thus for assessment which is based on lower levels of the learning hierarchy (as defined by Western Pedagogy, and I would argue Science in general) they excel at. Sadly most testing is focused around those levels because it's easy.

If you re-define the game as STEM is about innovation and the creation of knowledge, I'd make a strong argument that an education based on questioning authority and critically thinking about data is what makes better, lazier scientists.

If such were the case, the Japan/SouthKorea wouldn't have any STEM graduates or any innovation coming from them. But that's not the case we're seeing in reality. They are leading the world right now in semi-conductor/robotics technology.

So your conclusion is bit bunk.

list is not even that long and goes back to several millennia bc. give me some example of recent innovation that's worth something weeb

I would make a wager that a sizeable fraction of Jap/Korean/Chinese professors have had some form of higher education; PhD / post-docs western Universities.

Let's say more than half.

Also I'm not saying there isn't a place for exhaustive and difficult work. Yamanaka got his recognition doing probably the most tedious and boring experiment on the planet, which probably only he and a handful of people believed was even possible. That experiment ending up rewriting every textbook on stem cells, but it was far from elegant.

Confucianism, high IQs and Asperger like traits, giving them a somewhat unique innovative mind.

You're literally the dumbest motherfucker in the entire room.
Historically East Asia has had an ultra-abundance of food it's the reason they started off with so many more people than us before the modern peroid and continued to grow.
So much so, that even Mao didn't manage to decrease the population enough that there aren't something like 1.5 billion Chinese.
It was only within recent history, that North Korea and China have been starving for some peroid of their history.
Learn some BASIC fucking history you moronic dipshit.

>Sits on an anime comparing forum, based on an imageboard concept originating from Japan, that discusses just how unqiue and creative their manga, anime and sometimes literature is.
>ASIANS HAVE NO CREATIVEITY! :DDDDDD
W-wat?

>Is from UK
>Still isn't sure why the British are so smart
How are my inbred people so intellectual still?

It definitely exists in Japanese universities. (Chinese too, from what I hear)

Because they work hard instead of being "cool" or "popular" in a deeply dumbered down western educational system.

In Murica and now other western countries, math skill automatically have you perceived as an autistic faggot and forever manchildren pussy.
In asian cultures this is valorized and praised.

Its pretty sad that this transition has happened.

Instead of valuing analytical/scientific mind, we value Chads and rock/roll

Based utilitarianism.
Not:
>How popular are your people?
It's:
>How useful are your people?

>utilitarianism
utilitarianism isn't functionalism.

Utilitarianism is how to maximize goodness.

>we value Chads and rock/roll
that was 40 years ago. what we value now is nigger culture and nigger ""music."" the west is declining because it's being africanized

nothing else to do

A lot of Anime and Manga are based off of Western Novels.
And in terms of useful contributions to society, the white men are leading.
