Arts at pre-U level – Chinese students work hard, but this subject isn’t like math, so massive practice may not be so effective. It’s not true that China students do better than non-China students.

sports at pre-U level – Chinese students aren’t stronger!

English at pre-U level — China (and East Asian) students at my time used the same method as in math, but were not stronger than Africans or other Asians. So the Chinese method seems to work only for Math.

Physics — is not same as math. Chinese students have less of an advantage. Theoretical physics is 30% math.

Programming at pre-U level – no such advantage. China kids have stronger math foundation, but US kids are not weaker in programming

comp science — is like pure math, but many non-Chinese students are interested in this field, so this is more attractive to non-Chinese students than math, so the advantage of Chinese students is reduced.

Other subjects at pre-U level — East Europeans have a similar standard in math. Some U.S. students also do well in math and science, often as good as China students. I assume these U.S. students work hard too.

Above university level – The advantage of China students in math or other subjects, if any, is not visible to me. I feel their strong foundation in math is a smaller factor at this level.

Sports – Chinese athletes train hard. In some sports they do well but in many sports the other countries probably train harder. Look at Joseph Schooling’s training regime.

Soldiers (similar to students!)– US soldiers train no less. They too need to carry weapons and run for hours.
