Why is that ?
The inference is that disbled people in China are better able to compete. More facilities, coaching and support.. Is life better for the disabled in China ?
Why is the west failing ?

If they are so briskly and easily walking around, why do you consider them to be "disabled"?

Is it a chosen mental disability? Are they choosing to be disabled?

Msybe the pour more money into it ? Maybe it is just an elite level thing ? I dont know.
In the UK outside the elite level support is very patchy to non existent.
Its mainly due to what charity groups can provide.

Im not sure coddled applies to the UK. It can be pretty grim at times.
