How is it any different than the standard “Exceeds expectations/Meets Expectations/Needs Improvement” rating system that most companies do?

I thought the standard language was "Cadillac/Set of Steak Knives/You're Fired."

Coffee is for closers.

First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Second prize, a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Have I got your attention now?

This one's Chinese so it's gotta be scary /s

Dan Wang is a credible commentator on China but he is careful to caveat the headline with 'the claim here is that'.

  "hi!"
  "very good"
  "good"
  "not very good"
  "good? bad?"
  "goodbye!"

Doesn't every company do performance reviews?
