Well, actually, Gatts was responding to the implication that I also inferred from your post which was that apparently some expats were sending their kids to local schools. My response to that would have been that not many expats send their kids to local PRC schools unless they have no choice, for a host of obvious reasons. Gatts and I had the same impression since if you are only talking about expat schools it doesn't really help your point that things are groovy educationally in the PRC.
BTW, I am not being "US centric" with my 99% comment. I was simply responding to HKIT's moronic assertion that no Chinese had "defected" to the US recently. My response was to note that i.) it isn't called "defect" anymore, the proper term is "emigrate" and ii.) most Chinese (yes, 99% or so) would love a US green card. I'm not being US-centric there, since I could have written "Australian", "Canadian", "UK" etc., etc. Most people from a poor country would take a green card from a rich Western country. The point is so obvious that it is hilarious that it is being somewhat mindlessly challenged.
