"Furthermore, only 2% of all U.S. 9th-grade boys and 1% of girls will go on to attain an undergraduate science or engineering degree. In contrast to these troubling numbers, Mr. Chairman, 42% of all college undergraduates in China earn science or engineering degrees."

A Chinese boasting an engineering degree from a good university shows how well their parents got them to study for their Senior High School finishing certificate (Gaokao) when they were 18 yrs old.
