China students in our country

[in response to Sunday's article]

Summary:
1. Local students and parents don't like them, claiming they raise the bar and add pressure to students in a environment that is already too stressful. They also fear future competition in the job market.
2. The students from China complained that the system here does not educate and impart moral values but instead train students to be question answering machines.

So. Now we fear competition and wants to start closing our doors. Weren't we once an economical tiger? We were told we were the best. We rested our laurels and now others have caught up. If others have raised the bar, it means that we aren't good enough! These students aren't geniuses! They are simply hungry for success, like we once were.
For point #2, you know my stand. I rest my case.
