It is an oversimplification to link "Chinese students are usually very weak on independent thinking" to "many Chinese students fail to make the best use of their time here". Many American students also fail to make the best use of their time in America. As a matter of fact, if I had to guess based on the people I know, the average (international) Chinese student in American is probably harder working than the average American student.
