> _it doesn't mean successful test-takers are able to produce Google or Facebook._ Seriously, how many Googles or Facebooks does China need to create internally for its needs?

How many millions died because of that bright idea of encouraging farmers to kill the evil sparrows that were eating the people's grain?
