Shirley Wang:

One way of interpreting the findings is that the medicine proves effective on immediate classroom behaviors like sitting still and interrupting the teacher less, but it doesn't help with other factors important to successful completion of homework or test-taking, like family encouragement.

The Economist:

South Korean parents will not even embark on having a child until they are sure they have the resources to groom it for success. As a result, South Korea suffers from a shortage of happy mediocrities, countercultural rebels, slackers, dropouts and eccentrics. These people, in effect, remain unborn.

Tabitha Speelman:

Middle-class Chinese parents choosing to feed their child foreign milk powder might spend anywhere from 25-40% of their monthly salary.

AFP:

Human breast milk has become a new luxury for China's rich, with some firms offering wet-nurse services … Xinxinyu, a domestic staff agency in the booming city of Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong, provided wet nurses for newborns, the sick and other adults who pay high prices for the milk's fine nutrition. Adult [clients] can drink it directly through breastfeeding, or they can always drink it from a breast pump if they feel embarrassed. Wet nurses serving adults are paid about 16,000 yuan (US$2,610) a month -- more than four times the Chinese average -- and those who are "healthy and good looking" can earn even more.

BBC:

Mistresses have become the ultimate symbol of corruption in China.
