Key Notes
He identifies evidence-based reasoning as a major weakness in China, including among top students who later study abroad.
Jiang's class is not a public-school Gaokao track; it is a private school for Chinese students intending to study abroad, with English instruction and Western history and philosophy as preparation.
Private international or experimental schools form a gray area because they serve a small minority of students going abroad, and the government has not fully settled how to regulate them.
Jiang says the most plausible negotiated outlet in the U.S.-China conflict is for Chinese households to borrow for overseas education, especially undergraduate study in the United States or Europe.
A growing wealthy minority of parents exits Chinese education by sending children to the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and increasingly American high schools.
Study abroad is a major trend because many young Chinese are seeking global education.
Jiang argues China and the West are not a good marriage educationally: Chinese schools train not talking, not questioning authority, going with the flow, and leveraging guanxi networks, while American schools demand unique participation and argument.
Chinese students abroad can suffer psychological confusion and alienation because the habits that work in Chinese society become liabilities in American classrooms.
