In recent years, higher education institutions and standardized test providers in the United States have been confronted with a new problem: Mainland Chinese students are trying to gain admission into top colleges and universities by hiring imposters to take entrance exams for them.
On Nov. 13, Wang Xinyan, a Chinese student at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Pennsylvania, was arrested for taking entrance exams to help others gain admission into American universities on six occasions, using a fake Chinese passport and a visa in another person’s name, according to Reuters.
