I think this is a problem western people rarely understand because the concept of dualism in western philosophy is so rare. It creates a system of logical determinism that forces the thinker into black and white thinking.
In the east “cheating” can be seen as a negative, while at the same time understanding that if cheating is how the people at the top rose to their position, then it is implicitly part of the system. Meaning that the true competition is between the people who can cheat the most while not seeming to cheat at all.
