Your merit is not an academic score, it's how well you can apply your focus and talent into achieving your objectives.
Gaokao score is just a flawed way to measure it, but flawed as it is, I assume it's still a more accurate measure than being born with a pink undertone...
What does success in personal life, especially when it is inherited from unearned privilege, have to do with building a good education system? If I was born to 2 Mexican drug lords, I'd be living better than any American Ivy League student, still doesn't make me more useful than them on a societal level.
Knowing Turkish politics well, I can say that never take the lengths governments of the developing world can go to spin up a nationalistic story lightly. In Turkey, when Turkish-American relations were better, any think-tank article that praised the country or Erdogan got widespread coverage. Because most of the media actually worked for the government and the government's voter base loved such stories.
India is quite similar to Turkey in terms of its politics. It works similarly in most "developing democracies". The state media and most of the private media work for the government. The government feeds on nationalism. Modi and the Indian govt will of course work with think tanks to influence both US media and their own populace.
Fury? What happened to the stiff upper lip? In any case, the 52nd state isn't allowed to be angry/furious.

Now we're being awfully specific here. For one and again, to my knowledge data is not specific to the point where either China or America breakdown each industry and the age demographics working in that industry, nor do companies do that either since especially in America that's borderline illegal. Once again if someone can actually find a data set highlighting that, then I we could re-examine the issue.
More to the point, are you saying that expats should not take the unemployment numbers in both respective countries into account with respect to their decision where to work, since they might be in the clear in terms of finding a job in China unlike Gen-Z new grads? Well some are not so detailed, some just see the numbers and kneejerk assume the hiring situation is not great on top of testimonials from their friends at home.
Elite universities didn't fully implement affirmative action. Most of STEM students are Asians. Just look at MIT, 30% of students are Asians. Most of the academic achievements are heavily depended on Asians and international students and Jews.
Take HKU, CHKU, and HKPU for example, local students took the easy courses and majors. All major research papers and academic achievements and post graduated studies are highly dependent on mainland students. It is no difference for elite US universities as International students and Asians are the suckers doing the heavy lifting.
