POLICE have detained 62 people suspected of selling electronic cheating devices in the run-up to the country's national college entrance exams, China's Ministry of Education has said.
Police and education bureaus across the country have coordinated efforts to crack 45 cheating-related cases so far, including busting a ring of illegal businesses selling cheating aids such as wireless headphones and two-way radios.
In the latest case, police in Xiamen, a city in southeast China's Fujian Province, detained two suspects on Saturday for advertising the sale of electronic cheating aids and documents said to contain content from the entrance exams.
The national college entrance examination is the world's largest standardized test, taken by millions of Chinese students every year. However, there have been string of scandals featuring high-tech cheating devices.
The ministry has vowed to exercise an "iron hand and zero tolerance" on cheating at the exams.
Examinees found cheating or plagiarizing will be disqualified and also prohibited from signing up for next year's test, the ministry said.
About 0.02 percent of students who took last year's entrance exam were later found to have cheated.
