Had a mechanical engineer (to this day I have no idea how he ever passed the PE exam) from China who was frightfully incompetent a few years ago. I had to take on a lot of additional responsibility to cover my company's ass due to flagrant code violations and life safety issues related to this guy's "work". Turns out he'd bought (as in paid for) his engineering degree back in China which he used to come to the USA and eventually build credentials here. Apparently this is not uncommon practice there too. Scary. This guy was a citizen too (had immigrated years prior).
