I believe what you are asking is can you exclude income under the US/China tax treaty and also claim an education credit.
You can, but your education credit may be limited if your income is reduced by the treaty. Depending on what education credit you qualify for, some or all of it may be limited to the amount of your income tax. So, if you reduce your income you may also be reducing the allowable education credit.
