Chinese students often turn to education consultants for help in their overseas university applications. Authorities are accusing some of these agencies of inserting anti-China content into the documents to boost applicants’ prospects.
It is saying that the intermediary who compiled the student’s application added content that the student didn’t sumbit:
The person in charge, “Xiao Rui”, told Zhang that a certain country’s tertiary institution had opened a “green channel” for Chinese students who intend to study abroad.
“Xiao Rui” claimed that the application documents needed to be “properly polished” to increase the chances of admission. Instead, the documents ended up being “implanted” with large amounts of false content containing anti-China prejudice and reactionary political speeches, said the ministry.
“Without his knowledge, Zhang went from a student with a simple resume to an anti-China ‘vanguard’ - a victim of this overseas study agency’s illegal behaviour,” the ministry noted.
Sure but that in itself doesn’t seem to be the central concern. The central concern seems to be the anti-china nature of the material, which we have no idea about from the article.
Adding content not directly submitted by the student could cover a whole range of things like crafting a resume on their behalf and adding it, writing a cover letter for the student, re-phrasing a paragraph as part of proof reading or anything else. Fairly mundane stuff, really.
