It's not even that. China's tradition is gen 1 line cook/delivery boy, gen 2 doctor/scientist/engineer. It's the inherent cultural difference. India was thorougly colonized and dominated by Western culture so they see a guy who wears an expensive suit and runs his mouth for a job as the idol image. Chinese culture upholds the strong and silent type; one of the best compliments in Chinese is to say, "He has few words and his work is impeccable." We Chinese think it's a blessing to have much more than what meets the eye, to wear undistinguished clothing, to speak little, but to have the highest degree and greatest innovative ability in the group. The Western ideal of a man focused on his looks and making presentations all day while himself NOT being a qualified scientist or maker of the work he's selling is seen in China as a "grass dumpling" something that looks great on the outside but is actually worthless inside. The Chinese ideal is suitable for being an introverted scientist, as so many Chinese are, and improving national power and technology, but not suitable for being a politician or perceived leader in the West.
