Asian intelligence

 

"A country with an IQ of 115 can expect to have a GDP per capita (PPP) of about $100,000. This is higher than every other country with the exception of Qatar, Macau, Luxembourg, and Singapore. The first country is oil rich, the second one runs on gambling, and the last two are tax havens, none of their economies can be emulated by larger countries." Murray says that Korea should have a 100,000 dollar per capita economy. Because Koreans are talented. 

It seems farfetched. Japanese, who are more or less identical to Koreans, have never reached European economic levels. North Korea cannot feed itself although they have developed advanced weapons. They are intelligent but something does not allow them to reach their potential.  

PS: The World Bank estimates Japan's GDP around 40,000 US$ somewhat less than Austria and Belgium. South Korea is in the same league. If China develops to Korean levels, as it appears to do, it will become invincible. America may sink into civil strife and chaos due to its mutually hostile populations.
