Stupid Chinese People Are Taking Over the World – VICE
In 1999, the creation of privately owned universities was sanctioned in
China. At this time, fewer than ten percent of 18 to 22-year-olds were
enrolled in higher education. Now, that figure is around 30 percent. In
his film, Education, Education,
the director Weijun Chen delves into the dark realities of private
university education in his homeland. Far from offering students a
reasonable alternative to state education, the majority of these private
institutions – which charge double what state colleges charge – are
designed simply to make money from kids who haven’t done well enough to
get into more prestigious places, fucking people over for no return.
