  1. Just so we're clear, army drill sergeants aren't allowed to do a lot of this stuff in most countries. Sleep deprivation and injuries kills actual learning regardless how determined everyone is.

  2.  @BofaDee33  I've seen the insides of 3 different basics and no, that's no how that works. We like to joke about what is technically allowed but there's several competing ideas of how to run training.

  3.  @jonathanvillegas7570  except their engineers are subpar at best partially because they rely exclusively of rote memorization but also because the colleges are just the opposite and you can still pass even if you only show up to class half the time. Hense why they have lots of engineers capable of reverse engineering tech, but there's rarely anything new out of China.

  4. @winterbreak It varies. There's what prescribed in the program and there's whatever the freakin DS feels like.

  5. @jmrabinez9254  No. And there are rules about how much sleep deprivation is allowed and injuries are seen by a nurse

  7. Worse than that, there's a list of common cheats mostly availableto people in high places, but that doesn't stop most Chinese parents from trading their child's happiness for the family's possible success.

  8.  @ac1455  science isn't profitable, and these degrees are intended to get jobs, not refinement.

  10. Bad whataboutism. That literally is a thing in China, but is near impossible in the developed world.

  11.  @WillzMaster85  this is high school, not college. Most of these kids will not finish college but these tests scores will be used by employers.

  12.  @jonathanvillegas7570  what makes you think any of these guys give a frick about science? This is about rising to the top, getting rich, dominating land, and getting rank, not learning. These ones that want to learn study abroad, like President Xi's daughter who allegedly is in America studying under a false identity.

  14. It's about jobs, ranks, prestige. Not learning.
