oh you're right, I went by this, but should've checked the ranking there :)
Another interesting trend is that lower-income countries, such as Vietnam, tend to perform better than wealthier nations, such as the United States, in these metrics.

I don't know anything about the site and spent 30 seconds looking at the article, but it doesn't present the data in a misleading way to create "always the same map" ( ) by setting the major shift in perceived color just below the OECD group and then not coloring in countries like China and Vietnam that outperform the imperial core
There's definitely a bias there, and I'd argue that this makes it even more significant that they have to admit China is outperforming the west. Skipping Russia in particular is a bit funny given that Russia tends to perform really well at math and computer olympiads. When a country with a population of only 143 million consistently outperforms a billion people in the west, that's a sign that the education system is working well.

PISA is literally run by the OECD.
I haven't looked at the data to figure out how they're lying, but they exist to prescribe liberal policies.
