Like the United States of America, China has large land mass, but also a much larger population.
While we have a Department of Education under the Executive Branch of the federal government, many factors lead to variability in the style and quality of education in different areas.
What part of China did you grow up in? Do you know if that country has generally uniform education, or like USA variability by school and region?

I think there is a large variation in the quality of education received in China even as the curriculum becomes more standardised than ever. The problem is that there is still a quantitative and qualitative gap in standard of living between the tier 1 cities compared to everywhere else. A by product of perhaps as you say a country with very large land mass, and a huge population. I spent many years in different cities across China, Shenzhen, Beijing and even Xi'an. These are still considered much more developed cities than in many other parts of China.
