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.

The Japanese excel at manufacturing. That makes sense given their education of rote memorization - even their schools are like factories. If the US is being overtaken in the Internet, who is Japanese competitor against the worldwide leader in infrastructure (CSCO)? Or the Japanese MSFT or Intel. Yeah, I've also never heard of that Japanese company because it doesn't exist.

The Japanese can manufacture amazingly well, but I don't know if that's due to creativity or critical thinking.
