East Asia is more advanced than the Middle East due to better education, leadership, and population control. The key difference is the separation of state and religion. In East Asia, religion is not allowed to influence the government, while in the Middle East, religion plays a significant role in governance. This leads to East Asia ranking high in global lists, while the Middle East lags behind.
