Did the researchers conduct any background survey for their experimental subjects? The researchers don’t understand Chinese as Chinese participants don’t understand English. Communication efficiency -100.

Participants’ lifestyle is different from researchers’. We use instant message apps for work and dailylife communication rather than Email, (e.g., apps WeChat, QQ. )

Without considering these variables (language barrier and lifestyle) into account. It’s unreasonable to call it a fair test.
