The people running universities in China do not care about actual academic outcomes. Eventually, overseas universities realize this and will either not recruit academics or postgraduates from China or ask them to do exams in the year they recruit them to test their actual knowledge. Mainland Chinese undergraduates are a different matter, and Australian universities fall over themselves to enrol them because the full-fee paying foreign students bring more revenue to universties, over and above fee subsidized (in Australia fee subsidized tertiary education is called HELP) local students. The numbers of overseas Chinese undergraduate students enrolled in Australian universities were the highest overseas group (before 2020), for over twenty years. This is why when the CCP in 2020, in response to the Australian government query on the origins of the Covid outbreak, cast dark rumours that Australia was racist and a dangerous place for Asian students to live (which is a lie), and combined the Covid pandemic international border lockdowns at that time, plus the lies the CCP told Chinese students about Covid cases in Australia (Australia has had a combined death toll from Covid of 14500 people since 2020, in a total population of 26 million) the numbers of Chinese enrolled international undergraduate students plummeted here. In comparison, the USA has 1.078 million Covid deaths in 330 million people. Just do the math, you can see the number of Covid deaths per million is much higher in the US; 5.8 times worse.
