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. "Education, Education: Why Poverty" http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/education-education/ http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/education-education/

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] [1] http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/collegeinc/ http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/collegeinc/ [2] https://youtu.be/BP61LwODTnY?t=50m32s https://youtu.be/BP61LwODTnY?t=50m32s [3] https://youtu.be/BP61LwODTnY?t=55m50s https://youtu.be/BP61LwODTnY?t=55m50s [4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_tribe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_tribe
