Obiviously, North koreans doesn't work hard as their brothers in the south. At least, in factory, their working speed is far below the Chinese worker while Chnese workers are slower than Korean workers.
Regarding the indian labors, there are a lot of Chinese who were sent to india for contract complaining about them especially in construction:
1. They rarelly do overtime work;
2. There are too many holidays;
3. Lack of reponsibilities;
4. Lack of initiation;
5. Their rest time is rediculously long;
6. Lack of necessary skills: everytime chinese get someone trained for a certain job, he is usally moved away to do new things and a new one is coming as a request of union. As a result, neither of them learn anything;
7. Terriable organisation: i.e. chinese have 3 position for 3 unskilled persons, but the union sent them 3 persons for each position. When they decided to send the extra 6 back with full payment, union regarded it as kind of insultation;
And actually, in Mao's period, China's industrilization was at least not slower than today. And the chinese in that period-our parents generally think that we are not working hard enough!
Yes, the system is one of the keys. But that is only one side of problem: if after 60 years, you have been unable to change a system which clearly shows unsuitable for the task, you have to go deeper!
This is utter bollocks.
So, Chinese work less hard than Japanese, Americans, than Singaporeans, than Swiss, than Germans. That is the root cause of China's backwardness. QED.
This juvenile thinking that "people are not hard working enough, so the nation is not far enough ahead", is a teenage fantasy.
Think of a farm in India, where a family of 6 people does backbreaking labour the whole day in the fields. Their womenfolk get up at 4 AM to walk 5 km to fetch water, and then cook food for the whole family. Are they "working hard" or not? Only an idiot will say that they are not working hard.
Now, if this family had mechanized tools for farming, two persons could do the work of 6, with much less effort, and leisure time to spare. Were the people working harder before, or now? Simple common sense. And if the village were to be provided with running water, the women will not have to work as hard anymore.
And the remaining four men of the house can now open a store, move to the city to work, start a small business, do much more. They can incorporate more productivity in the economy.
And yet, they are not working as hard now, as they were before. Your juvenile logic does not fit in here anymore.
You say that India has not been able to change a system after 60 years? We have been changing the system since 1991, and continue to do so. Only an idiot will look at it as a one-point one-shot "change" that will magically change the nation.
Tell me, China is still a third world nation after 60+ years. You people need to "go deeper" and understand that you people don't work hard enough. The fault is with the common Chinese person, who is lazy, that is the only reason China has not made progress to the level of Japan and the West.
Huh - it sounds too dump even to be typing this shit.
