> I have a friend that heads a computer science department at a regional university in China. He's an old friend of my wife. The vast majority of graduates from his department have never run a single line of code on an actual computer. The teaching and assessment is 100% theoretical on paper, and this is typical.

At a regional Chinese university you are basically looking at those who couldn't go abroad and to the tier one institutions. And same thing for the TAs and teachers there.
