A short time ago, I posted the report about the low salaries earned by Chinese graduates. Here is an article from the New York Times suggesting the intensive training of Chinese students.
Dillon, Sam. 2010. "Top Test Scores From Shanghai Stun Educators." Nerw York Times (7 December): p. A 1. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/07/education/07education.html?src=me&ref=us "With China's debut in international standardized testing, students in Shanghai have surprised experts by outscoring their counterparts in dozens of other countries, in reading as well as in math and science, according to the results of a respected exam. American officials and Europeans involved in administering the test in about 65 countries acknowledged that the scores from Shanghai -- an industrial powerhouse with some 20 million residents and scores of modern universities that is a magnet for the best students in the country -- are by no means representative of all of China."
