It's built into their culture. There was one time when the lecturer left the classroom during a break in the lecture, the china exchange students swarmed over his laptop, which he did not lock down, inserted USB drives, copied files had lookouts posted at the door etc. It was so shockingly spontaneous. They did not know I was not a student but another lecturer auditing his class.
Later I told him that his laptop was raided and left it up to him to decide whether to pursue it. He just said they have an integrity problem. Later I heard they made it non-examinable for them so they did not feel a need to cheat.
I think it's just built into PRC Chinese culture. Maybe for them repercussions aren't that bad. But Singaporean Chinese stick to the rules pretty much (google no U-turn syndrome)
