The difference between public and private sectors in china is not always an easy destinction to make.
A case in point would be a certain article that appeared in the NY Times last week regarding the 2nd most powerful politician in China.
The link is as follows (requires VPN in mainland china)

What you "know" doesn't seem to be engouh, doctor T.
Doctor T knows more than enough about EFL. As he is neither capitalistic in outlook nor foolish enough to marry a Chinese woman who will pressurise him to work like a dog for her and her whole family to subsidise their inferior incomes, he cannot be used. He will not allow himself to be taken advantage of by a greedy employer nor a golddigging wife. He values his free time very much! Good for him. Do not underestimate what he knows!

What you "know" doesn't seem to be engouh, doctor T. Both private centers and public schools are privileged to serve their public. Which one has more "rights" and which one "should", "should not survive" is quite objective and not up to you to decide. If you think public schools aren't in for profit, you're so wrong. Many public schools have their principals, courses directors etc, quite rich and that for some really good reasons. I know a few who own houses in Canada, the US and have their kids enrolled in western higher education too. One fella in Chongqing (uni) bought a band new honda and complained to me he could not buy a Mercedes 'cause his employer warned him not to. You see there is plenty more cash around public schools than around private centers for some obvious reasons. They have more students and easier ways to cheat. They have more connections as they, just like you've said, believe they have "rights" to educate, not privileges.
