For the last few days, my inbox has been inundated with requests for my response to disparaging remarks made about Liberian students graduating from Chinese universities and the standards of Chinese universities. Despite fervent appeal, I have resisted providing a response because such sweeping comments don't merit a response. All I will attempt doing is provide few information on the quality of Chinese education. Only abysmal and combative ignorance will make anyone question the qualities of Chinese universities. It is stupidity of the highest order to question the quality of education of a knowledgeable society like China where, even in antiquity, promotion to public offices were based on good performances on the imperial examination. It is the great quality of Chinese education, scientific and technological researches and innovations that have transformed a once peasant society, a nation that was raped by Western and Japanese imperialism and ravaged by brutal civil wars, into the World’s second biggest economy, the largest exporter the world has ever known, the world's second largest importer of goods, the world biggest producer of concrete, steel, ships and textiles, the world largest automobile market, etc. It is the quality of Chinese education that has, in less than a generation, raised a nation from virtually an industrial backwater to a world's economic, financial and industrial giant. While the nincompoops, ignoramuses and charlatans, in fear of competitions from true scholars, are making sweeping generalizations which are wholly dependent on the correctness of their imaginations, the hard facts that the knowledges acquired from Chinese educational system have raised hundred of millions out of poverty, guaranteed food security for the huge Chinese population, made basis healthcare and education available to almost all of her people, created very impressive infrastructures and cutting edge technologies and led to continuous double digits growth of the Chinese economy for over two decades speak for themselves. Make no mistake, studying in Chinese universities requires fierce efforts. Their rigorous curricula, couple with learning in a new language, require solid academic background, high level commitment and very hard work. So, there might be a handful of persons who might have used their connections in this outrightly corrupt government to go to China and come back home with questionable credentials. Rather than blaming the Chinese educational system for the few quarks claiming to be graduates from Chinese universities, we should blame those responsible for vetting the students that are sent on scholarships and those in authority who think government scholarships are the means of paying their children, relatives and friends tuitions and academic fees.

My comrade has said it all. So there is no need to add up to this. But for the sake of the global village, I challenge so-called Dr. kpoto and slawon to show what significant contributions have they made in any scientific journal? Is a pity to listen to those so-called educated jokers to say such crazy thing. Let me again make it categorically clear, there is no university in Liberia, I mean no university, not even the UL, the so-called medical college can be compare to any college in China before I say universities. The problems of Liberia, is Liberians. We understand the politics that these guys are preaching, fear of competition, but this will all come to an end. Michael Slawon in my opinion should be relieved of that position because it is his second blunder, the first was AMEU 2011 graduation. If Michael Slawon is sincere to the Liberian people, which higher education models are you using for Liberia? Is it not China, Brazil, and India? Of course they are. Then you have to come up and condemned a system that is thousands of years improved then Liberia. What a pity.
