Why China Can’t Create a Steve Jobs — Explained by a Top Economist (Episode 5)

If you believe China’s education system should produce global innovators, this video will challenge that assumption. Based on economist Keyu Jin’s analysis of China’s education and innovation model. What if Steve Jobs was born in China? Economist Keyu Jin walks you through a thought experiment that exposes the fundamental flaw in the world's largest education system. Every June, 10 million Chinese students compete in the Gaokao—the most selective exam on Earth. Tsinghua University's acceptance rate is 0.03%—113 times more selective than Harvard. China produces 8 million graduates annually—4x more than the United States. So why has China, with 1.4 billion people and the world's best test-takers, failed to produce a single Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or world-changing innovator? In this deep analysis, renowned economist Keyu Jin reveals: 📊 Why Tsinghua (0.03% acceptance) is 113x more selective than Harvard (3.4%) 🎯 How the Gaokao "machine" filters for obedience, not creativity 📉 Why 20% of Chinese graduates face unemployment despite Master's degrees 🚬 The viral story: Master's graduates packing cigarettes at $500/month 🧠 The "Zero-to-One Problem": Why China excels at copying but not inventing 🐢 Why 86% of "Sea Turtles" (foreign-educated Chinese) return home and conform ⚙️ The "短平快" (short-flat-fast) philosophy that kills breakthrough research 💸 How the education arms race consumes 25% of Chinese household income 🛑 Why Beijing banned the $100 billion private tutoring industry overnight 🛋️ The "Lying Flat" (躺平) rebellion: Why Chinese youth are opting out This isn't just about test scores. It's about the fundamental trade-off between discipline and creativity, between catching up and breaking through, between "Made in China" and "Created in China." The education trap isn't just killing innovation—it's destroying the Chinese middle class, bankrupting families, and creating a generation of disillusioned youth who are refusing to participate in the system. Based on insights from Keyu Jin's "The New China Playbook" and extensive research into China's education system, this analysis reveals why the very system that lifted 800 million people out of poverty is now China's greatest obstacle to becoming a true innovation superpower. 🔗 Related Episodes: Episode 2: The "Lying Flat" Rebellion (躺平) Episode 4: From Copycats to Kings - How China Took Over Tech ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video provides independent economic analysis and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any educational institution.
