The October issue of American Renaissance (a white nationalist magazine) poses the question, "Why Have Asians Not Dominated?" The summary of the first article:

Why Have Asians Not Dominated?: Given the well-documented IQ advantages of North Asians, writer Robert Henderson wonders why their societies haven’t had more global influence. He finds the widely held belief of ancient Chinese technological and cultural superiority to be largely false, and examines possible historical reasons for the disparities in development between the Orient and the West. Mr. Henderson suggests that differences in personality traits may be as significant as intelligence in determining the historical course of a people.

What is responsible for personality traits, nature or nurture? If Mr. Henderson draws the conclusion that culture (and the lack of political desire in the past) is the reason, then this point at least isn't objectionable. The imperial Chinese were not so interested in expanding the boundaries of their Empire, though they did seek to spread their influence in East Asia, and to have other nations recognize China as being first.

On the other hand, if he subscribes to some version HBD theory with genetics being the cause, he's wrong.
