What was that stuff about being racist but instead of "race" saying "culture" so it's socially acceptable ?
Bonus from OP:
Not much we can do about that. It's just Chinese culture that hacking is a normal thing...their internet cafes literally comes pre-installed with hacks for online games because if the customers kept winning then they kept paying and renting PCs.
(no they don't, a couple years ago some twitter dipshit saw a computer in an internet cafe with a map tool that was approved by the game developer and thought it was a cheat)
I didn't typically cheat at all, except for one time I REALLY cheated.
We had an awful, racist Japanese teacher from Japan who would freely tell the various Japanese kids at my school, in Japanese, that he thought Chinese people were dirty and Koreans were stupid. And he treated all of his students like 6 year olds. There's kind of a racial chauvinism still somewhat present in parts of Japanese culture related to the ability to speak their language. "Barbarian" vibes.
Once someone noticed a folder on his desktop called Final. He was a dipshit too.
A week later he left the room for a minute or two, and they opened up his laptop, stuck a USB drive in it, and copied the final exam to it.
We weren't sure what the kid was doing at the time.
The word got out. I didn't want it.
But then we all found out about our final exam study guide we had been hammering on for months. It was this huge compilation of roughly 90% of what we had learned. He would constantly remind us to study the final exam guide, because it had everything we needed to know.
We would even study the thing in a few "Final Prep" lessons.
The kid who stole the file revealed that the Study Guide and the Final Exam had literally no crossover whatsoever - the teacher had gone through every lesson in our textbooks and separated every word and kanji into two separate buckets- the Final Exam and the Study Guide.
We couldn't believe that rat fucking bastard.
My friend smuggled me a copy in his shoe, and I studied that fucking exam. 80% of the class was in on it, and we all got A+ grades on it.
This was the type of teacher that would penalize us for good performance by making the next test harder.
So all walked out of the final exam, huddled around, and agreed on the spot to stop doing Japanese next year. Some kids didn't need any more language, and a few did French.
