The main problem that I've seen from living in China for the past 5 years or so is that the people are too dependent on their families and the government too really branch out and take risks on their own or to learn something that no one else is learning. This is why it's taking so long for linux to be adopted in China despite Linux's ease of use, 3D eye candy, and good software support and availablity. Plus their government schools- where the children are force fed 99% of the things that they never really use on the outside. Students are usually in school from 7am to 10pm and are only concerned with passing exams to please their parents or to get into some college. Finally most Chinese have no leisure or free time to play around with new toys, not to mention new ideas, at least not since ancient times.

There are of course exceptions, but those are rare.
