The average Chinese is much smarter than the average European. I'm not as sure about modern China, but the ancient Chinese never stop blowing my mind. So don't just throw up your hands and make a joke about their inscrutability... as though that were some quaint attribute. For one, they use BOTH hemispheres of their brains, simultaneously, and all the time. Senile Chinese women can whup yer ass at mahjongg with lightning speed. I'm not asking you to figure it out, but I am asking you to take heed.
