If a foreign kid fails to gain admission to an international school despite the advantages and priorities which he/she already enjoys, then the parent ought to seriously examine the ability of the child, instead of trying to blame it on "the Chinese couple next door" like that British woman in the programme.

The Cat system oes not put expat in any advantageous position.
Anyone can be a Cat One including 100% local family.

The woman said that her kid was not even offered a chance to interview.
I think this year a lot of parents said that there are no interview for even Cat One.
So it is not the issue of the ability of the child.

再者我都唔明班强國人，其實國內有國際學校，點解一定要在香港讀？

I do not see that many mainland children in international schools. As far as I know, only YX and IXX are known to have taken more children with mainland connections.
The percentage of mainland children in other international schools are still quite low. So I do not see them as a main group competiting for places.

You have twisted what I said.
I never said anything about unfair practices.
I was just trying to say it was unfair for you to say the kid did not get a place at ESF because of her ability.
I do not see the mother blaming the other parent but just venting.
I would say that if the chance to interview was by random draw, anyonw that did not get a chance would feel bad.
But, well, never mind. Not exactly my business so may be I should have shut up.
