Japan for example graduates loads of students able to pass standardized tests of various subjects at very high levels, but is terrible at producing individuals that are skilled at figuring out what to do in a new, unexpected situation.<i/>

You really believe that? Toyota sure seems to know what they are doing, while GM & Ford are clueless and losing market share fast with yesterday's technology. Japan has a higher rate of broadband adoption than we do and their broadband is much faster than ours. Japan is typically on the early adopter curve on most new technology, which usually takes alot longer to roll out in the US.

So I do remember that the conventional thinking is that Chinese, Japanese, and Indian engineers are somehow inferior and not as creative as Americans, because we have more freedom and a better education system. But that is no longer the case. Those days are over and the US is being over-taken in almost every category. Hell, we invented the Internet, but other countries are adopting and using it at a faster rate than we are. We're becoming a joke.
