The education system in China may not be perfect, but it is a good system to drill discipline into a student. That is why many Chinese students do well in foreign universities. However, doing well academically is not the same as learning. Learning involves a thought process where knowledge is absorbed, "digested" in the brain, comprehended and applied to real life. If any student fails to learn this, they have wasted their time in US universities, even if they pass the exams.
