An explanation of those words you quoted:
1. Our college students lack metaphysical thinking: China college students can learn well in specific subjects and solve some specific practical problems, but they lack high-level theoretical thinking (so it is not easy to produce Nobel Prize winners).
2. Indians like metaphysical thinking: India has been good at religious and philosophical thinking since ancient times. Their math is also quite good. In modern times, their industrialization is not as successful as China's, but some of their thinkers and theorists come from west Renye Fang. China is relatively short of such people.
There are too many metaphysical things, which are boring: in English, philosophy does not bake bread. Philosophy cannot be eaten as a meal. So many abstract and mysterious things, what practical problems can be solved?
