The Chinese system isn’t perfect. It can encourage too much rote learning and not enough thinking outside the box; too much regurgitating what the superiors say and not enough thinking for yourself. I don’t mean this to contradict what you have said. The Chinese do work hard and we don’t work hard enough. But their society also has its problems and we should try to evaluate educational systems with our eyes open. Chinese history and culture are very different from our own. What works there and what works here will be very different.
