Terrible. The TLDR given by OP completely misses the point of the article. The scrolls aren't a revolutionary discovery because of what they contain, but because of what implications can be drawn as a result (which you'll have to read the article).
Do you have any actual examples of their poor academic behaviour, or are you just speculating? Because it sounds like you're singling them out for being Chinese right now.
In Australia international students, a large proportion from China have built a reputation on endemic cheating. There is also culpability on the institutional side as universities allow them through degrees with different set of standards as the uni's appreciate full fee paying international students vs subsidised government paid national students. I met my wife, a foreigner at an Australian uni and she absolutely recognised her preferred treatment as a personal anecdote;
And I get what you're saying, and I'm not trying to tar all international students as doing this. More so it's a good topic to discuss, to stop this behavior and protect the reputation and achievement of those students that do work hard and truly earn their degree and other academic accolades. But at least at Australian universities this is a massively widespread problem, which uni's dont want to seem to deal with and it would not surprise me if this was more international.
Cheating is not what OP was talking about. You are mentioning a completely different issue.
Also, having been through university myself, cheating is completely widespread through domestic students as well. I'd like to see some statistics that international students cheat more, rather than anecdotes.
so basically, you want to see statistics on "lying"? just have a gander at the websites that sell questions. I can't begin to tell you how many there are just for technical certs (cisco, McrSft, etc...). and business is booming. follow the news in India and you'll see all the "cheating student" stories you want.
The issue goes to the fact that grades/school prestige are being used to imply that a student will be a solid addition to a company, yet everyone wants to espouse "Meritocracy" - not realizing that only comes after you're in the "real world" and you've got a few years worth of jobs on your resume/CV.
In life, as in classes there is the way the book tells you how it SHOULD be, and then there is the reality of how it actually is. Sadly, students are unprepared for what they will experience in the "real world". Part of it is the school's fault, but also the students bare some responsibility when they insist on wearing rose-colored glasses.
If they continue chugging along, they're most likely going to get eaten alive by single-purpose companies who have the capability to offer a more refined product, and iterate at a quicker pace. It would be more valuable to investors if Yahoo split into product-specific components, a la HP. The sum of Yahoo's components will be more valuable than the whole, anyways.
Yahoo's been throwing shit on the wall for a long time, and nothing's been sticking. It's no wonder investors are starting to lose their patience.
Older people care about convenience, rather than the "best" product (I know this as an old person). If Yahoo had a decent breadth of product offerings, and if they marketed it correctly, they could keep most of their customers in their ecosystem. It won't work with kids that are used to 5 different chat clients at the same time, but for the people that don't care as much about flashiness and care more about integratedness and convenience, they could definitely win the way against single apps.
India may not be the best example, considering there have been several organizations that have rated it more corrupt than China. Furthermore, while they both started in similar economic positions, China has pretty much left India in the dust at the moment in many metrics.
I'm not saying these are perfect solutions but they are doable. Also comparing India to China, economically, is a bit tough. China wasn't occupied by the British Empire for 100 plus years. The history of colonialism can't be dismissed overnight. Ironically, India's many communist parties and communist-influenced legislation is still hurting it, notable the law that companies larger than x size are more or less nationally controlled in a de facto sense - for example it is illegal to fire anyone, you actually need to ask the government to fire them which involves trials and years of work. Companies in India try to stay under that size, thus a lack of proper economic growth due to lack of scale. The new guy in charge is up for liberalization, so lets see how that works out.
