>The media singling out a group such as the Chinese visa students is certainly a popular thing to do to gain clicks, but it's a little unfair. Did you bother to read the article? There is a cheating industry that caters to the Chinese. This is a valid topic to write about. I think going full politically correct just makes us all stupid. This industry exists for a reason; there's demand from the Chinese and this most likely ties into the ideas of success from Chinese culture where cheating and copy is tolerated, if not encouraged.

Yes, there is an industry catering to the Chinese but making the leap that only the Chinese culture tolerates cheating and copying is idiotic. A problem with news articles is they can only focus on one topic and sadly for some readers that creates a myopic view of the world. Tomorrow you'll read about welfare fraud, tax fraud, investment fraud and insurance fraud and not realize that there is cheating everywhere in every culture. Remember diploma mills? They catered to American employees who wanted to beef up their resumes and get promotions at work. Remember news about grade inflation in American high schools? Remember the use of steroids in baseball? Or painkillers in football? Or insider trading? Or Ponzi schemes? Or insurance companies not honoring their policies? Deflategate? Stealing signals? Stealing playbooks? Videoing rival teams? Bribing amateur athletes? Cheating in Multiplayer games (Halo ;-))? Yeah.

  > making the leap that only the Chinese culture tolerates cheating and copying is idiotic Where do you see it written in the article that only China cheats? The authors chose to write about a business that helps Chinese students cheat. It sounds like you would prefer that they write an article about every place that has cheating in the world. Do you expect to be able to dictate the topics for author? Dictating speech is China's game, not America's
