I see that most top students in international schools in Hong Kong are Chinese. I am curious to know ...
A lot of the Chinese kids in Hong Kong want to be professionals such as doctors and lawyers etc. They work extremely hard at school because they know they won't be able to get into medical or law schools etc. unless their academic results are truly outstanding. I believe this the reason why we see a lot of top students in international schools in Hong Kong are Chinese. It definitely has nothing whatsoever to do with intelligence. To me, it's more a question of how much time and effort you put in rather than anything else.
Once these top students are qualified to be doctors and lawyers, they will then devote their entire time and energy towards making money and I doubt any of them would be interested in doing research works let alone getting a Nobel prize.
