The president of Stanford was caught pressuring his team to fabricate data for years, so this is likely pervasive everywhere in academia nevermind much higher pressure environments with lots of competition like elite institutions in India and China.

If we do some self reflection, similar things can be said about Uber & Airbnb et al. Painting this as cultural phenomenon is not productive IMHO.
