Do our corporations need to hire them, tho? And do they indeed hire them, just under a subsidiary in some bodunk company in some out of the way corner of the world? While they apply for dual citizenship that CCP would never in a million years recognize, but we will. The technology has been taught, given away, under the belief we’re creating global citizens that will all play nicely in the sandbox. Kum bay ya style When all we’ve created is more informed enemies. And why would a ME/AE class be filled with 50% foreigners in the first place? Surely it’s not an indication that young Americans have no interest but more an indication of inaccessibility for the average American student? Tuition driven into the stratosphere by accessibility of foreign money? In a class of 50% foreigners, can anyone honestly say there is unfiltered dialogue?
In the end, the universities are screwing themselves and us in the process. The education capitol of the world has exported its knowledge to a nation that has, right now, become the education capitol of Asia, with well over a million international students just in Wuhan. Students that are not paying tuition in the USA. Or Europe. Being taught exactly what the turtles were taught here, but providing zero in return to the Western world. Unless you want to count the racism and subversive propaganda against America being taught in in Chinese schools very evident in the Stockholm syndrome behavior exhibited by ex-pats. Grateful to flee to America to avoid the pandemic, but afraid to exercise free speech here, in fear they might lose their job they’ll soon return to back in China- knowing they are monitored.
50% foreign students, but we can’t even get accurate pandemic data.
