Hold it right there, please!

Why I said "Mexican" does NOT have boo to do with "race". Culture maybe but def NOT race. I'd feel the SAME way if most aliens in the US; legal or illegal were Irish and I'm of Irish family.

National IQ Scores - Country Rankings
Your IQ data is outdated, and the 100 value was not even measured but expected.
After Lynn et al. really measured it in a few places in China later, they found it is way too high, and thus they "rounded it down" to match the new data from Korea and Japan, so the new value is 105.

Students from Shanghai top all subjects in PISA test,and the gap is HUGE. However, students from Shanghai are known to be "lazy" and "do not score well" in China.

Your link is a wiki link to something about student assessment scores. That was not your claim. Your claim was I.Q. Until you post something relevant we will go with my link.

While you are at it, get the info on your 99.9% claim.

That 99.9% is obviously a rhetorical use, which exists in all languages including English. That being said, I read Yahoo news regularly and have never found any positive article to praise China there. Let me repeat it, never.

I'm using my cell phone to type so it is hard to do search, but here is a link to IQ data (from where you can find more resources).

I just checked Yahoo News (which as you know is just an aggregator, the stories are from all over the web).

Here is a list of the results, which don't appear to be ALL negative. Are you saying that Rueters, Bloomberg, WSJ and others are biased against China?

Default The 'Made in China' story is falling apart

My prediction:

"American" companies that moved to China over the past 20 years will now be looking at starting up operations in Africa. They'll chase down the cheapest labor force they can find.

Did you read them (not just the title)? Are they really positive?
For instance, many articles about China-Africa relations will have some comments about the "concerns" of Africans being exploited, or human rights violations, and so on. Trust me, I read many English articles about China and I know the agenda.

Just use that as a reference for more resources. If you really read Lynn's book, you will know many countries' IQs were "expected" values in their book in 1994.

To be clear. IQ tests do not measure intelligence. They measure development of contemporary academic skills and the general confidence (psychology is at work here) in applying them.

Secondly, there are many studies have shown that Asians are not necessarily smarter or having higher IQ.

I've read a lot of articles online says China will be the next super power. China experienced economical miracle. Obviously, these are all positive. no?
