China's success: I have thought for a long time that there is something peculiar to the asian culture's in general that allows them to understand the value of education. Japan, living on a couple of large rocks rose from the ashes of world war two to become the second largest economy in the world within just a couple of decades. Despite their living in almost total isolation for a millinium, having almost no natural resources and a very unfamiliar language. The Japanese are now the most highly educated people on earth. South Korea and Taiwan have similiar stories. China is just a bit behind them but seem to have gotten on the same train and will follow those other economic success stories. And India and Vietnam are also developing very fast. I do not see the same educational and economic energy in Russia, South America or the middle east. A professor friend of mine said whenever a Japanese student came into his class he knew that would be an A. As mentioned before, UC Berkeley's incoming class a few years ago was 54% asian. This trend is true of all of the best of the state universities in california.
