China: Students Use High Tech ‘James Bond’ Spy Devices to Cheat in College Exams

David Sim:

Nearly 10 million high school students sat China’s national college entrance exams last weekend. The ‘Gaokao‘ is a fiercely competitive, make-or-break test that determines the path of a student’s life. Some tried to improve their chances by using high-tech equipment straight out of a James Bond film.

Police have released photos of some of the devices they confiscated, such as a camera hidden in a pair of glasses and a tiny receiver that looks like a coin.

A hidden coil in a shirt, two batteries, a mobile phone and a receiver are displayed after being found on a student about to take an exam, in Chengdu, Sichuan province, China.Reuters
