Why Does Durov Consider China’s Education Superior?

Following the impressive rise of DeepSeek, which has matched Western AI models, Durov highlighted that this breakthrough was possible due to China’s education system.

  • China adopted principles from the Soviet education model, focusing on deep knowledge and strict discipline.
  • Chinese students consistently dominate international math and coding competitions.
  • Chinese schools and universities provide strong foundations in STEM fields, fueling the development of cutting-edge technologies.

How Does This Relate to DeepSeek’s Success?

DeepSeek is a Chinese AI model comparable to GPT-4 and DeepMind. According to Durov:

“Many are surprised at how quickly China caught up with the U.S. in AI. But China’s progress in algorithm efficiency did not come out of nowhere.”

He pointed out that Chinese IT professionals have long surpassed their Western counterparts, particularly in mathematics, algorithms, and programming.

China’s Future in Education and Technology

  • China is continuously investing in science and technology, attracting top students to AI and engineering projects.
  • Education reforms are making China more competitive in the global tech race.
  • Western countries risk falling behind if they do not rethink their education systems.

What’s Next?

Durov’s statement fuels the debate over which education system—Western or Eastern—better prepares specialists for the future of AI and advanced technologies.
