You started this wretched flamewar and now have taken it to an even lower level. We have a high tolerance for assuming good faith on HN, but the stench of prejudice here is acrid.

If you do race war or nationalistic flamewar on HN again we will ban you.

the problem isn't the collective observation. The problem is that there is no symmetrical collective observation that is even possible.

it's not common to see similar anecdotes and think "we" are cheaters:

people cheat. wells fargo, mlb, cycling, track and field, doctors, prosecutors.

not only the employees, athletes, and students, but the ceo's, refs, judges, coaches, and the teachers cheat too:

none of these examples are isolated incidents, and are patterns in our own culture. And if you live in this system, and the one pattern you observe is that Chinese students cheat, then there is probably some bias in your thinking.
