Why are Chinese rude? Corruption in China’s schools has failed young Chinese people

Corruption has plagued China’s education system. China experts say that top Chinese universities such as Tsinghua university and Beijing University are the cradle of academic corruption. It started in the late 1990s after China’s notorious commercialization of schools. Money became the oil that greased academic institutions. And the country may not have realized that China’s future is doomed when its young Chinese people are ruined.

Based on my experience working with vocational education in China I couldn’t agree more with Lei, it’s a system where political decision always precede academic freedom, where ‘keeping face’ matters more than actual learning.

The lady got it totally right!

As I worked in an "international school" in Beijing, I had to find out that this was nothing else then a degree mill for the rich Chinese. However the school's affiliated Kindergarten was very good, so the management had no problems to attract new students. But the education that followed the kindergarten was a disaster. It promoted a very crude version of Chinese nationalism by trying to use foreign material. Most foreign teachers tried to "escape" after they found out what of kind children they were going to face. I am not going to say that children there were all bad. However the percentage of children with behavior problems was exceptionally high. And when we complained about a child's misbehavior, we were told it is just a cultural difference that we have to accept. Well, a 16 - year - old standing a chair screaming ugly insults (f-words were the mildest ones) toward a mild-mannered lady, who just asked nicely to hand-in his more than overdue homework, is something we would NOT accept in Europe without sending this "boy" to the principal, but in this "school" this was just small matter. Also foreign teachers were often reprimanded for giving low marks, and for not putting enough effort in praising the students. Since still I am working and living in this country I have to be very careful what I am writing here.

The difference between the behaviour of Taiwanese and Chinese is VAST.

I cracked when Lei couldn't control herself while reading the lady's list of requirements.

Very interesting.
I own a Flight School in Canada and most students I have from China are very lazy and they think they just pay me to get there written exams done without actually needing to write it. My daughter went to Melbourne University Veterinary Medicine Program and one of her class mate was a girl from China, she told my daughter that she got two degrees, one a Medical Doctor degree and the other a Law degree. Later she found out that those degrees she had was paid for by her father. She was actually there looking for a husband, she was kick out of the school after the first year as she fail all her exams on her first year there.
I myself had a Chinese girl taking Flight Training at my school, but she was there only to get a husband and only wanting a husband that are Canadian only. I had to kick her out and I needed to call the police to get her out as she refuse to leave the premise of the school. When she was pretending to do flight training in the air, she kept touching the instructor's leg and arm and telling the instructor she is flying with or students that she is interested in that her father makes $2, 000, 000 yuan and if he marry her, her father would give he a lot of money.
I didn't believe my daughter until I had this Chinese student from China.

That was pretty funny. I did date a Chinese lady in Vancouver BC. Did not last long, she had been here 20 years or so but everything we did had to be the Chinese way. Like it was the gold standard of living. I asked her why she immigrated to Canada. She said "for a better life'. Besides' a guy can only take so much Chinese food !

[kerriehoskins]

This is why students seek education in foreign countries 🤷🏻‍♀️

[cyberslim]

Stealing lunch money from school kids is really disgusting!

[michaelgeorge]

I have some experience as a student in China. I was really shocked by the low quality of teaching. Teachers generally do not give any feedback or correction to students' papers; I don't think they even read them, but just run them through software to count the number of characters. Teachers stand in front of their PPT presentation and just read from what is in it. There are no questions or creative process at all. Students just have to memorize what has been presented and puke it back. I asked my Chinese friends and they told me that that is the general attitude of teachers. I was also surprised by the degree to which Chinese professors use their students for personal benefit. I suspect that teachers secure their position by personal connection more than professional competence. Maybe this type of education is limited to foreigners and the humanities. I would like to hear from Chinese students on this topic.

WOW! The greed in China is insatiable! That is what I'd call character decay, 😢. Probably because that is all they are allowed to care about, as anything worth caring about has been destroyed or taken away by the CCP. Like family. SCS has even turned family members against family members and neighbours against neighbours. Its weird that it was after reading about General Dogface that I got the final puzzle piece of what I had been searching for (I had been trying to figure out what are fhe best circumstances to raise a balanced healthy being). Family and community are a nation's cornerstones and the first thing to be attacked when wanting to break a people. I am from the West and the value of family has been erased from our minds in favour of capitalism, and have left us empty and void of identity. It was a Chinese general who gave me back my hope and something to fight for and why I now hope for China!

I had a roommate when I lived in China. She bought her degree from an obscure university in North East China. I remember her being quite excited when it came through the post. Reading through her transcript was interesting.

[beyondborderfilms]

9:48 I like that even ms.lei couldn't hold her laughter and I agree this woman demands is hilarious 😂

[antixocialman]

Great work Lei! Shameful what the chinese have become!

[dasandbox]

You are so right on Lei. If everyone is self-serving and rude, the only forward path is none at all, no matter smart or beautiful you are.

I was in a restaurant in Taiwan. Mainland Chinese were there. A baby soiled it’s diaper. The Mother changed the diaper on the tabletop in full view of other diners at other tables. It was during a busy time for dinner. The restaurant was packed.

Lived here in Beijing many years (and many other countries). Most shallow people in the world.
Learned a new word recently: autotelic. Perfectly describes what many of us lack.

[margaretgoh]

Hi Lei, thank you for the insight and analysis. Prof Chen Chunhua's story reminds me of Fang Hongjian (方鸿渐) from Fortress Besieged (围城), a novel by Qian Zhongshu (钱钟书). Both also bought their academic credential from a non-existent Irish university and became a lecturer or professors.

[johnthetechguy]

the part where lei talked about the dating part had me laughing

[davidburke]

I teach in China and maybe half the foreign teachers here have false credentials.

[patrickt]

I found the bit on the lady from Beijing very ironic. She said she didn't want egoists, and yet her profile reflects someone with a very large ego. Hopefully, she finds someone who suits her very high standards.
