Sampling error.
Our education system takes in and tests a wider variety of people, and the favored countries put most of their population on rigid tracks (or streams) that are unlikely to receive international tests.
It’s an easy way for others to shove the US down the ranks while feigning a sense of “scientific validity”.

Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Finland, Estonia, Switzerland, Netherlands and Canada Tiny countries; you have to look at the whole population. They might have a few thousand scoring high but so does the USA.. Is this per capita? or total?

Technically, Hong Kong is not a country, but it does have its own currency and legal system. I wonder how much the British influence impacted the educational system there.
