Key Notes
He contrasts Finland's mentality of empowering each child with what he describes as a Chinese mentality of the rich protecting themselves and neglecting the rest of society.
Jiang defines empathy as the ability to put yourself in another person's shoes and says Finnish schools teach it explicitly from childhood while Chinese education has historically not emphasized it.
He argues Finland's emphasis on empathy better prepares students for that cross-cultural future, while China will struggle because it has not cultivated the same capacity.
