Comparing writing rules in U.S. and China
Generally plagiarism is not accepted both in U.S. and China, but there are some difference for details. There are similar rules to ban plagiarism in China as in U.S, but most Chinese teachers perform the rules loosely, because they do not want the student have a bad record. The students know this, and some of them take advantage of them. However this dose not mean Chinese students are worse. Some students do this just because the scores of students are extremely important in China. The students’ parents probably treat them totally differently according to their scores in school.

I don't think for one minute that Chinese students are worse. American students have a good understanding that copying the work of others is not right, and believe me, they do it all the time!
American students plagiarize, too!
However, the American teachers are usually very strict about plagiarism. In high school, if a student plagiarizes, the teachers call the parents. Sometimes, the student gets suspended from school for a few days.
In college, sometimes the teacher just gives the student an F for plagiarized work. Other times, the teacher reports the plagiarism to the dean who decides if the student should leave school.
Good post!
