Their government doesn't encourage speaking out about much. I'm sure that carries over and affects other aspects of their culture. Chinese people, I'm sure, have plenty of good ideas, it's just that their society doesn't encourage the type of people who are innovators to speak up about their discoveries. If your government always strikes down the nails that are sticking out, it's going to have a negative effect on those who think differently.
