Why do many people say "China is an acquaintance society"? Is this view correct?

Presumably, many people have had this experience since childhood:

The surgeon has been an acquaintance of his parents since birth. Even if the doctor is not, he must be introduced by an acquaintance.

When we grew up and started school, our parents began to choose kindergartens for us. Everyone wants their children to go to kindergartens with good conditions, but the number of places is limited. As a result, my parents began to mobilize acquaintances again and finally sent us to kindergarten.

Then in elementary school, junior high school and senior high school, it seems that there is always a teacher at home who is a crooked relative. Parents always want us to get into a good university and have a better way out. Therefore, from the beginning of primary school, we attach great importance to teaching quality, teaching staff, learning atmosphere and so on. Especially in high schools, we have to spend money to give gifts and let us go to key classes.

Finally, when the college entrance examination arrived, parents began to find acquaintances for the choice of universities. From the beginning of choosing a major, parents ask about the professional prospects of their more accomplished acquaintances and trust the experience of those who have been there. And we, anyway, have never been in contact with each other and don't know much about it, so let our parents decide. Then the choice of school, parents began again, saying that in which city there are relatives resident and in which university there are acquaintances ... All the places with acquaintances have always been good choices.

After graduating from college, we began to look for jobs. Parents are always worried about letting us work outside alone, that we will be cheated, and that we will have a bad life alone. So, they began to mobilize acquaintances around them. Which relative has a successful career in which city and can go; Or which friend has a relationship, you can put us in a good unit. ......
