I said it's unfair to single out and potentially antagonize a group while the problem is more prevalent across many different groups. I don't see any contradiction here. Sorry...
I'd say the concern is Chinese, but it's a systemic problem rather than a concern about any individual's morals or honesty.
Here's a great, sad documentary on the hollowness of the Chinese dream's cycle of expectation, lack of regulation and general chaos of creating unrealistic expectations for millions. Highly recommend watching it.
What a touching documentary that shows a different side to the plight of Chinese students. Thank you for sharing it.
The same system exists in America. The US version of this documentary is College, Inc [1]
The whole exchange between parents who want the best for their kids, teachers who are pushing a sub-par education at their private schools that they know takes advantage of poorer students, pre-enrollment students who will do anything to find a job, and graduated students who can see that this education hasn't opened any doors, is easy to see through this documentary. I wonder whether this film is viewable within China or not
The teacher explaining how his school isn't worth it, particularly for the poor, is heartbreakingly honest [2]
The part when she sings a song about what happened to her hands when she was a child is both sad and happy [3]
Also interesting to learn about the term "Ant Tribe", that is, kids who can't find a job after school [4]
