East asians are good at math. Look at rankings by country. Obviously no one would actually do this, but if you were going to, China would be a great place to set up shop.

Youbate referring to a popular worldwide math test. There's no reason to believe those test scores aren't gamed, especially in Communist China where information is highly censored in general and the known "sampled" locations where the tests are given is highly suspect
