>>most of them shared the same code for the assignments (in front of the professor). [...] cheating is a terrible part of the subculture

Which is terrible - your particular university's subculture of cheating-condoning professors, or a Chinese student subculture of cheating?

Chinese international subculture of cheating, I assume.

I assumed that too, but the additional implication I'm reading into the parent comment is that the professor might be in on it too.
