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.
