Why is it that a piece of nationality is not as good as a piece of nationality after ten years of hard work?

Recently, an article titled "Foreigners don’t need to take exams to get into Tsinghua University?" The post "Ten years of hard work is not as good as a piece of nationality, Tsinghua University's new policy makes Chinese candidates cry without tears" has attracted the attention of many netizens. The cause of the incident is that Tsinghua University recently promulgated the "2017 Tsinghua University International Student (Undergraduate) Admissions Guide", which stipulates that starting from this year, all qualified international students can submit applications to Tsinghua University without taking the school's written examination. All previous applications International undergraduate students at Tsinghua University need to take exams in 4-5 subjects first and then take another exam or be admitted after an interview.

From the admissions brochure, international students can apply to study at Tsinghua University as long as they have reached Level 5 of the HSK Chinese Proficiency Test of the State Language Commission. Some netizens believe that this standard is completely incomparable with the IELTS and TOEFL standards required by foreign English-taught schools. The HSK test requirements state: To reach the HSK Chinese level, you need to master 1,800 Chinese characters.

Critics believe that the most controversial aspect of Tsinghua University’s approach is that it may exacerbate educational inequality. In the past few years, a large number of Chinese parents have chosen to have children in the United States and other places. These children holding foreign passports have grown and lived in China, and have attended public or private primary and secondary schools with their peers to receive Chinese basic education. As their classmates struggle for the college entrance examination, they are likely to benefit from this new policy similar to Tsinghua's. In order to easily get into China's famous universities, qualified parents will also let their children give up their Chinese nationality and use the "immigration" method to get into famous domestic universities.
