In my opinion, going to school in mainland China is worse than not going to school at all, which is from my outside perspective.

From my outside perspective, similar to that of the family in the video, who have a choice to give their baby girl a USA passport, the decision to avoid the Chinese education system is pretty easy.
The reasons to avoid include the extreme demands and pressure to be in school or doing homework that occupy the student Mon-Sat from 6/7 AM - 11 or 12 at night from the age of 6-8 y.o. until usually 18 when they enter college. Recently, students and teachers have Wechat groups and receive additional homework assignments in the evenings. The stress on the teachers to assign and grade huge amounts of homework and frequently contact their students and parents is also extreme. Industrious teachers have "optional" paid tutoring in order to ensure that students academic progress is measured at the highest possible level.
After entering college, they do little for the next four years, although there is some percentage of college students doing some learning, but it is a very, very, very small percentage. College is usually four years of a greatly reduced intensity schedule from the same education system and essentially worthless for preparing one to be able to solve problems or develop skills. In fact, it seems designed to reduce both of these abilities.

In America, people are afraid of adverse affects and nanobot mind control adjutants. In China, they just want real vaccines that haven't been sitting in a shed at 100 deg. F for a few years.

If a foreigner gets into any physical altercation with a local, and there's not overwhelming evidence to support the foreigner (security video gets lost a lot), the local can make any complaint of injury without proof, demand almost any amount of money, $2000-$10,000 USD is common for a single punch with no injury evident, and the cops will just take your passport until you pay it. Refuse to pay? Go to jail for months, then deported, bah-bye.
