You seem to have a lot of stereotypes.
Many young Chinese with rich parents are still well-educated and well-behaved. The same as in all other countries.
In the past, westerners spread all over the world and took advantages of locals. Now some Chinese do that. No big deal.
He's not stereotyping this a problem with the kids of Chinese Officials violating the law and there parents making sure they don't get in trouble for it in China. He's right that won't fly in the US and these kids will be in for a rude awakening if they try that here.

I was saying many kids from wealthy families behave well and cause no trouble. Of course you can find counter examples too.
Do you really believe kids from poor families behave better, on average?

Based on my own personal experience with the Fu Er Dai, there is virtually no link between education and behaviour.
I live in Los Angeles and we had a rich Chinese international USC grad student as an intern last summer and she would drive her Tesla to work. She was really nice and wanted my company to sponsor her by hiring her but we did not. Many of my co-workers said that she wanted to be sponsored so she could stay in the USA after finishing grad school and not because she needed a job. She was HOT though.
Also, as someone who's lived in China and taught the sons and daughters of millionaires:
I find that there are 2 kinds of rich in China (and maybe this is true all around the world): those who are and have been politically connected up the wazoo and/or are still involved politically in the CCP AND the nouveau riche who made their fortunes within the past 2 or 3 decades.
The latter are usually former peasant/lower class and have a chip on their shoulder and as a result that they are always trying to knock off through their gratuitous displays of wealth. Their kids would show up to class in bright neon Lamborghinis, rarely studied, and dropped $3K USD at clubs just to brag about it.
The kids of high-ranking politburo members, however, were always well-mannered, courteous, and hesitant to flaunt their wealth. Their parents reminded me of the English nobility of the 19th century: intelligent, naturally high-class in their manners, strict with their kids, and constantly paying attention to their public image.
But I guess this could apply to men and women of any race.

It's true that rich Chinese are either politically privileged or business people with little education. Educated but powerless people tend to stick to their government-assigned jobs and can never be rich. But they can have a decent life, much better than the lower class who do not succeed.
Let's hope that the Chinese settling into Arcadia, Monterrey Park and other parts of East L.A. won't be so opposed to higher-density development like the west side of L.A.!
Gee whiz! Santa Monica is all but having a heart attack over the idea of a 21 story condo building being erected in their city, first high rise to be built since 1970!
