Asking a student to formulate a question on his/her own is encouraging creativity. It doesn't happen in China. Questions pertaining to academic material is highly discouraged. They learn merely by recitation and repetition. The concept of recess is absent from grade school onward, and we know how important playtime is for fostering imagination. You cannot say that such practices don't have adverse effects on a child's creative development.
Whether creativity can be taught or not is out of the question if the environment is not conducive to nurturing its development (especially at an early age).
That is called teacher-centered learning, as opposed to student-centered. Again, a relatively new concept in western culture, and very much typical of an American classroom until educational theories changed in recent decades.
Is it utterly wrong because your culture adopted new methods recently?

That's a sweeping comparison. You're not taking into account cultural/governmental variables.
We are talking about the same country right? The one where women are still being forced, legally by the government, to abort their babies, even in their third trimester if they've already had a child?
I'm sorry but being highly qualified... although helpful... doesn't guarantee you squat. Being highly motivated however... that can be the difference... no matter how "smart" you are.

Being highly motivated doesn't mean squat if conditions around you are oppressive.

Agreed - I was motivated to get out of my hometown because conditions were so bad, and did. If I had been motivated by anything else, I'd still be spinning my wheels there.
