Confucianism is a religion that results in inferior cultures
Any success Asian people have accomplished is in spite of Confucianism and not because of it
Japan and South Korea have only finanically been succesful because they were invaded/colonized and rebuilt by the United States and have been influenced by it's culture
China and North Korea are culturally inferior to Japan and South Korea in objectively measurable ways such as median food availability per person due to cultural differences

It is primarily because they imported a alternative worldview
North Korea and China got it's worldview imparted from "communist" Russia
Japan and South Korea got it's worldview imparted from "Christian" "Capitalist" United States
Confucianism is about putting your elders before morality
Christianity is about putting morality before your elders
Whether or not the historical and theological claims of Christianity are true it is a better foundation
