[Born to Conserve]

The Chinese I've met in college are hardworking and bright, but they seem to be on a mission. I suspect that many of them are selected, for their work ethic and intelligence, by the Chinese government to go and learn in our universities and bring that knowledge back to China. They seem to be very proud of China, but you can see their envy. When the subject of salary expectations comes up, they get very quiet. They don't get in to political arguments, which I take to mean that they really don't support China's governance, or that they are under orders to blend in and complete the mission, or both.

I am not paranoid, but I am very alert and suspicious. The Chinese scare me, but I am optimistic that they will catch the same cultural diseases we have caught (democracy, etc.), and their threat will diminish.

Remember when the Martians all caught colds and died?

It is said that half the Chinese in the US are here to spy on us.

The other half are spying on them...
