My high school was about 1/5th Korean nationals who boarded at the school. They were immensely talented in just about anything. Some were national competitors in art competitions. Others were doing independent studies in calculus because they were too advanced for the calculus class. Either they're naturally talented, our school received exceptionally motivated and talented students, or they have a head start through better primary education. Most were exceedingly wealthy (Armani was a hit with them), I'm sure they received the best primary education that could be found.
China isn't Korea, but they're both East Asian...
