"Children who rebel may be threatened with being sent to stay with family in China, and they know from relations there that teenagers in America, even Asian ones, get off relatively lightly compared with those in China."
This seems quite naive. We all have been children and something like this seems unlikely to work (at least my personal opinion).
Actually, plausible threats that are carried through are usually quite effective. What kind of similar experience are you suggesting everyone else has to compare to this?
