I think you hit the nail right on the head, the unrelenting academic stress

But that's not really hitting the 11-14 demographic that hard.

Kids talk. Stressed kids push their stress to whomever. It is tragic, but doesn't seem shocking that the impact would be earlier. (I have zero insight into China.)

Yeah, but that's the entire reason China splits off high school into age 15-18.
