> Even their university culture practically encourages cheating in classes to pass, so you have generations of students graduating with weak understanding of the fundamentals.

There is some truth in that, but it's quite exaggerated and sounds like a conclusion someone without deeper understanding of China AND US would make.

If someone only learned about US education system via news sources, the picture being drawn is gonna be quite bleak, sex, drugs, anti-intellectual, bribery for admission, racism, classism, etc. ...while in reality, it's mostly working pretty well, but nobody is getting views by writing about smart and hard working students doing well in school.

I think the opposite is the case here. There seems to be a deep sense of pride from Chinese in particular who are able to "game the system" so to speak. There is indeed a majority of the populace who may just be normal folk working hard, but a non-negligible amount do indeed cheat their way through school at a rate that is not even comparable to anywhere in the west.
