You can't get a decent education in China (none / 0)
Except in computer science, apparently.  Then again, a lot of programming virtuosos are self-taught.  Maybe these students are "patriotic hackers" in disguise who were drafted into this competition to preserve their country's honor.

Students of Shanghai Jiaotong University Crowned World Champions of the IBM-Sponsored 'Battle of the Brains' - Yahoo! Finance

    Students from Shanghai Jiaotong University have been crowned the 2010 ACM (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Champions. Sponsored by IBM (NYSE: IBM), the competition took place today at Harbin Engineering University (HEU) in Harbin, China, home of the International Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival.

    Referred to as "The Battle of the Brains," the ACM ICPC World Finals challenged the world's top 103 university teams to use open standard technology in designing software that solves real-world problems. Each team of three students faced eleven problems of varying levels of difficulty. Framed around IBM's Smarter Planet initiative, the contest problems were modeled after real-world issues such as developing programs which will predict where rain water from tsunamis and hurricanes will accumulate. In five short hours, students solved more than a semester's worth of computer programming material.
