I think when people first saw these shows "YWY" and "Chuang" they were a bit shocked at the production, talent and visual levels. They expected something far below Korean levels but when they were not then they over compensated in the other direction.
Chinese trainees won't be better in KPOP idol industry standards especially in dance.
That said, there were some things that Chinese trainees definitely better at.
Formally trained musicians who play instruments -- you won't find a functioning rock band at a Korean survival:

Power vocals -- far more top level vocals in the Chinese shows, they just can't sing as well while dancing at the same time:

The visuals -- taller girls and more diverse ones too. Overall visual level is a bit higher to be perfectly honest. Xiaoting was voted visual center in GP999 but she was completely overshadowed by the visuals of girls like Yiyang and Zhenyu at Chuang 2020.

Korean trainees are better at idol style dance and singing during dance. The standard is set by KPOP so of course.
That said, even in idol dance the best Chinese ones are not that far off and some of them (not all) might match the best on Korean shows:

You are totally right. What happened with Tzuyu wasn't racism because she's ethnically Han Chinese, she's not an ethnic minority compared with mainland China. It wasn't xenophobia either, because Chinese see Taiwan as part of China
What lead to her backslash was another thing altogether, it's about politics propaganda mostly and extrem nationalism. Think about the backslash AOA got for not recognizing Korean historical figures but much much worse, because Chinese people are deeply alienated and do not see Taiwanese people as their own, but a bunch of rebels who reject their Chinese pride.
It was shameful for Chinese people and what happened was by no means acceptable or less concerning (as Taiwanese people are always in serious jeopard when it comes to recognition of their own nation), but it's a important distinction to be make here when we compare racism and xenophobia.
Actually, it is the other way around. Chinese people see Taiwanese as Han Chinese but (a majority of) Taiwanese don't see themselves as Chinese. Prejudice is far greater from Taiwanese towards Chinese than the other way around.
About a million Taiwan live and work in China. Taiwanese companies are heavily invested in China. Taiwan trade more with China than anyone else. Chinese people from the PRC though cannot work in Taiwan. Chinese companies cannot operate in Taiwan unless given a waiver. The antagonism is pretty one-sided.
The Chinese are willing to take inequities as long as Taiwan doesn't declare independence.
Someone should start a thread on Chinese social media like Weibo about Koreans or KPOP stans discrediting them and their money.
It might be the most effective way to stop them from bulk buying KPOP albums. Noone wants to spend good money on something and then get insulted for it.
I find it retarded that Chinese and SEAsians continue to spend time and money on a foreign pop culture that disdains them.
indian beauty standars are a bit different. Bone structure,skin color, body type vary from the korean ideal beauty and Chinese ideal beauty. Like you say korean and Chinese standards are similar.
In terms of infrastructure you can go from really modern to backwater town really quick. The area my family in India lives in Bangalore is super high tech.. like mansion with elevators..huge shopping malls etc. But travel a bit and you'll see a completely different side. Its jarring and interesting.
Honestly I've never seen any Indians survival program etc. Acting is the most popular. Bollywood is where all the major stars are. im part indian so this my perspective. I don't live there so I might not have the full perspective tho. But india is also much more religious nation which really affects the the music etc being put out.
It is more beauty standards than infrastructure or economic development. Korean and Chinese standards are pretty close to identical with some differences in makeup philosophy and preference for taller idols and models in China.
Jessica Jung is Korean-American but if people, even Chinese, didn't know this I doubt they would even pick her out as someone foreign.

Yiren works for a Chinese company who has plans for her in China and it is obvious they don't like her in Korea so this is the best for everyone involved.
Maybe that's not in their interest either? I feel the vietnamese music industry is not so ''appearance'' focused like koreans.
Noone in Asia has such a polished system as South Korea. There really isn't such an established standard for visuals until KPOP. So yes, Vietnam wouldn't persue looks the same way. That is why I said visuals are simply not discovered there yet.
But still in a more globalized Asia, it makes sense for Vietnam to push its cultural norms a bit. Again, look at Thailand. They've done it. No reason why Vietnam can't if it tried.
