It has everything to do with Confucianism Yes My Korean friend told me if it were not for Confucianism Korea would become Mongolia one country where Confucianism didn't take root. Confucianism emphasizes hard work, patience, and dedication to learning All of them are the brew that creates economic miracles in the Far East! Just look at the fact all the Sino-centric countries are now rich Japan, China, Korea, Spore, and even Vietnam which spent most of the last century in war now has the fastest economy in SEA.
Now who are the poor? all are the Indian influence countries, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and archipelago countries
So it took more than 2000 years for Confucian ideas to make them rich, right? You guys get minted from same factory, or what?
2000 years of poverty and in last 60 years, magical Confucian ideas did wonder.
You guys are pure comedy.
