Is plagiarism considered bad everywhere in the world, or is it an American foible? I vaguely recall reading years ago that in China it was not considered bad per-se and this occasionally gave Chinese some problems with American academic institutions. However I did not check the sources at the time nor quantified the effect, I was a naive newspaper-reader.
Standards have been going up over time, so grad students are unironically subjected to higher standards than university professors. I know of professors who have used google translate on English papers and published them in Chinese language journals.
