The Chinese are also experts at reverse engineering, patent violations, copyright violations, product counterfeiting, industrial espionage, and other related activities.
No surprise that they apply similar skills to the college admissions process.

My good friend is a senior mechanical engineer for a company that designs large hydraulic pumping systems. He has a team of young engineers who do nothing but try to put “extra” impressive (but ultimately useless) stuff in the systems and pump cases. The Chinese copy the designs, then ultimately spend countless hours trying to figure out what the hell all this extra stuff is for. He says if done properly, it can give them a one to two year jump on the low cost copycats.
