In the top 30 the USA has the most people 3x3 average and then china has the second most.

If you’re trying to figure out which of the 2 countries is better, you should use way more than 30 people. It’s too small of a sample size to get an accurate representation of which country is actually better with only 30 people.
 
Where the hell does GAN find these kids???

Johnny WHAT did I say about homework? You seriously think that practing a complex topic that will decide your future help you pay those taxes? Instead, take this twisty thing I found at the dollar store, become good at it, and become sponsored by a huge company that will turn you into a person who can afford taxes. Counting to 5 is useless anyway.

What is interesting to me is that of the two very young cubers I showed, Yiheng Wang and Ruihang Xu, I'll throw in Zaiyang Zhang (张在旸) too with obligatory Brody video

is that while they have decent efficiency, none of them use very complicated algsets or theory and achieve their amazing results just with lookahead and pure execution. I can't generalize that to Chinese cubers as a whole, because we know there are cubers who do have amazing knowledge of algs like Ruimin Yan / CubeRoot, but that's what I saw from these people.

They also all are white cross only solvers

yeah that's interesting for the CN / non-CN debate. because if you're not doing complicated xcrosses and stuff, then maybe white cross is sufficient.

here is a relevant faz blogpost https://www.cubeskills.com/blog/colour-neutrality
if being white cross only is working for them, and getting close to wr times, then they should be practicing just that. I mean maybe switching to CN would be a waste of time

But then there's the fact that you can't take advantage of super lucky non-white scrambles. Jayden McNeill also talked about white cross advantages here Colour Neutrality is king (but not necessarily the best) — Jayden McNeill Speedcubing Blog (jaydenmcneillcubing.com)

thanks for the blog post. I've heard about white only cross possibly being better for lookahead and maybe for things like pseudoslotting
also I'm tempted to call white only cross as white privilege just to confuse people
 
I didn't notice this but GAN actually had some interviews with the little GAN gurus and their parents who all know how to solve the cube also. Actually a lot of interesting info in the videos.

They have rubik's cube courses in preschool. that's how they learned so quickly.
