I think you should also factor in the relative rate of cheating known to be a scandal in the universities in China. How good are they really is a serious question.
The gap might be nonexistent, for now, or it might be real.. But it never hurts to reexamine your own situation, and question it.
The price of liberty, is eternal vigilance.
Seems like a lot of people, like MNJohnnie just can't stand to pay that price...the notion that we have to address a problem hurts their brains...
Thanks for the ping!
