In China you need EQ not IQ to do well, because a high IQ will be envied and ostracized, and most of these people will end up accomplishing nothing, is that right?

This is true all over the world,

First

IQ is usually not low when you have a high EQ, or people with a high EQ are smart, or at least not stupid.

Second

High IQ but average EQ or low EQ is more normal, most fall into this category.

Third

Average IQ with average EQ, most people fall into this category.

It's not that a high EQ is always popular and a high IQ is always ostracized.

The key is still to see how the specific scenario is handled.

People with high IQ are not really low in emotional intelligence, but they feel that it is meaningless to go around and around and say things against their will, and behave more directly, and be straightforward, and do not bend, but there are some situations where it is straightforward to talk and do things, and other people do not feel comfortable with it.

High emotional intelligence is only manifested in words and deeds, speak decently and do things in a measured manner, but does not mean that anything is done perfectly watertight.

Each has its own benefits and advantages.

This society needs a high IQ, but it also needs a high IQ.

The Chinese cultural tradition is to keep things quiet and get things done. With the foreign straight to a little difference, just cultural differences, no obvious good or bad points, where you can talk to be able to do things will be welcomed.
