2004年4月2日版TQB(卷。5、8号),我们报道了一篇观点文章写的Christopher交叉在康特拉科斯塔时报》关于国家安全威胁的质量下降我们的教育制度相对于印度和中国。块,我们引用统计从十字先生的一篇文章称,“中国有4000万人从大学毕业而美国去年毕业220万。”A reader, who was clearly better at math than we are, wrote to suggest that the 40 million-figure could not possibly be correct and later cited a May 29 piece in the South China Daily Post that pinned the number of Chinese graduating from mainland universities at around 2 million. (While that doesn't include Chinese student who graduate from college off the mainland, we do not anticipate finding out that 38 million Chinese are graduating from foreign universities!) We apologize for the error and promise not to scare you again.
