On the surface these state owned operations look similar but the results speak to the contrary. I think Chinese corporations behave more like a beehive and Russians like a wolf pack. The Kremlin chased out a lot Russians with academic papers. China on the other hand seems to be the place that facilitates the best startup opportunities.

This makes sense. Russian economy is much less dependent on talented work force, they have vast resources in proportion to their population.

If 3 million people with a master / Phd move out, your economy takes hit especially when the country's GDP is below the level of Italy.
