A commentary in the Beijing Youth Daily blames the scandal on the corruption of local officials and the negligence of colleges.
The article notes that the impostor successfully attended university under the identity of her classmate, whose school performance was much better.
As a result, the victim wasn't enrolled into college as she had hoped for.
The article says it was through the collective collusion of local officials, that the impostor was able to succeed in using another student's name and get high scores in exams.
As similar incidents have been reported before, the author also criticizes the fact that many universities have fallen through in carefully examining the qualifications of new recruits.
