My wife is Chinese. Since information is so censored in China she never got an idea of how "evil" (for lack of better word) the Chinese Communist Party is.
But with all of the flooding in China, she's been shocked by how bad it is in China. The communist party did nothing to help people from stopping the flooding, and then it's been literally hiding the bodies. And then it's been mercilessly cracking down on anyone trying to report about it.
My wife has been hooked on her cellphone for the last week watching all of the news with the shocked expression of "I had no idea it was this bad, i'm ashamed to be Chinese".

I joke with my wife about this a lot. "You guys go to school and study from dawn until night, and then you just end up copying us anyways". She's come to realize that Chinese education, is about wasting people's time with busy work to create peons who cannot challenge authority.
