Interestingly, Yud is attractive to Russian mindset (similarly to Karl Marx). I heard 12 old children discussing HPMOR on the beach, and their parents were not rationalists.
From my observations, the Chinese mindset is much more different from the American one than the Russian mindset.
In comparison to Chinese, Russians are just slightly unusual Europeans, with mostly the same values, norms, worldviews as Americans.
I attribute it to the 3000+ years of a relatively strong cultural isolation of China, and to the many centuries of Chinese rulers running all kinds of social engineering (including the purposeful modification of the language according to political goals).
