Chinese police showed devices that applicants tried to use to pass exams

Nearly ten million Chinese graduates went through a major test this past weekend. They took the gaokao, the national entrance exam. A high score is a prestigious university, which means a bright future. And on the way to it, neither the parents nor the applicants themselves stop at nothing. So, some violators tried to increase their chances by using high-tech equipment. Maybe this helped someone, which is hard to believe, given the strict control over compliance with the rules by the authorities.

Recently, the Chinese police released pictures of some of the confiscated devices that we decided to show you.
