How can they cheat on the math section?
Bring in help.
What?
I see. They get an expert to take the test for them?
Cheat sheets, cell phones, talk to each other.
Most of the Chinese millenials are not semi-literate and disease-infested. You’re thinking how Chinese was in the 70s or even 80s. It is a different country now and not to be underestimated. I would suggest a visit to Shanghai or to the Pearl delta megacity to understand the true ramificants of this giant country’s awakening.
In my humble opinion:
Thanks to decades of communism, the Chinese culture is quite different on the mainland compared to, say, Singapore (which is a powerhouse that punches way over its weight)

Actually, I was on an expat assignment in China for 2006 - 2008. Family and I lived in Shanghai, traveled extensively about the country. Only about 300m are living the middle class dream and these reside primarily along the east coast Pacific arc from Hong King to Beijing. Much of the remaining greater than 1b people located out in what’s referred to as the semi-autonomous regions are destitute subsistence farmers and workers. Most don’t have the equivalent of a high school education, medical care is poor to non-existent. There’s a lot of unrest among this population especially out west among their Muslim population. Naturally, same as here in the U.S. the young want to relocate to the “big city” where the action is. However, travel across provinces is controlled and limited. An intra-country passport is required to travel from one province to another. However, just as we have an illegal problem with migrants from other countries China has the same problem with illegal intra-country migration. Consequently, there’s a ring of hovels and shacks with little to no sanitation p, water, sewer, etc. the Chinese government periodically bull dozes these transit communities, kinda like the tent communities p, living in parks, under bridges in California, but the just throw up cardboard and plywood shanties somewhere else. The PRC is not the workers paradise presented to the outside word - unless a member of the Communist Party, then life can be pretty good.
Btw, you’re also incorrect about the Chinese not being disease infected; over 50% of the population would test positive to TB and the same or greater to various types of hepatitis.
