The COVID-19 pandemic and wider application of information technology have enabled the fast popularity of online live class in Chinese universities, middle schools, and primary schools. However, the future development for online live class in Chinese educational institutions is not surely smooth. This paper conducts a questionnaire and follow-up interviews among teachers, students and parents in Chinese universities, middle schools, and primary schools to make a year-on-year comparison on the use of online live class in Chinese tertiary, secondary and primary education. The survey revealed online live class is probably not a voluntary choice for educational participants in Chinese schools. The follow-up interviews indicate ethical imbalances centering on interpersonal relations, health, the nature of education and role of participants might endanger the sustainable development of online live class.
