Poor Chinese in Britain vs British born IQ STUDENTS SOCIO ECONOMIC

Pupils of Chinese descent from disadvantaged homes are almost three times as likely as white working class pupils to get five good GCSEs, a study shows.

The analysis suggests a poor child’s chances of achieving at school depends heavily on their ethnicity.

Across all disadvantaged pupils, white British children had the poorest performance at the age of 16 last year – with only 28 per cent getting good grades, according to the Sutton Trust, an education think tank.

In comparison, 74 per cent of similarly hard-up Chinese children got good grades – making them the highest-achieving group.

Would it be too hypothetical to argue that the inability to do no better than seventh-grade math at age seventeen argues for an individual IQ somewhat below 100? On the recent international test of thirteen-year-olds noted in Chapter 5, in which mainland Chinese students were scoring 80 on seventh-grade math tests compared to the U.S. 55, and given these often rural Chinese were scoring at about 101 IQ even with an as yet undeveloped educational system, the above estimate for an average U.S. intelligence may not be far off the mark.

The Imperial Chinese tributary system (Chinese: 朝貢體系) was the network of trade and foreign relations between China and its tributaries, which helped to shape much of East Asian affairs. Contrary to other tribute systems around the world, the Chinese tributary system consisted almost entirely of mutually-beneficial economic relationships,[1] and member states of the system were politically autonomous and, in almost all cases, independent as well.[2] Through the tribute system, which facilitated frequent economic and cultural exchange, the various dynasties of Imperial China "deeply influenced the culture of the peripheral countries and also drew them into a China-centered, or 'sino-centric', international order."[3] The Imperial tributary system shaped foreign policy and trade for over 2000 years of Imperial China's economic and cultural dominance of the region, and thus played a huge role in the History of Asia, and the History of East Asia in particular.[4]Recently, some scholars have argued that it is misleading to think of a millennial tribute "system," rather than a loose set of expectations and precedents; they suggest that the system flourished only in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.[5]
