> I’m pretty naïve on anything China It's a helpful attitude. Other countries really do things differently than the US. From what what I've read in newspapers, talking to recent immigrants and travelling for years in Asia: 1) Both China and India consider cheating on school tests to be a necessary thing to get the highest possible score. Riots occur when school physical security or test questions are changed. So it's baked into academics from a young age. India arrests hundreds over Bihar school cheating https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31998343 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31998343 A Q and A about cheating among Chinese students https://www.davisenterprise.com/local-news/ucd/a-q-and-a-about-cheating-among-chinese-students/ https://www.davisenterprise.com/local-news/ucd/a-q-and-a-abo...

In Indonesia, candidates pay voters $2 to $5 per head (vote buying) and guarantee they will be repaid after they win. If they don't win, the candidates go into hiding for a while to avoid the repayments. In China, there's Xi, dictator for life.
