Possibly, but they have another plan for getting them.

“In the last two decades, a million young Chinese have left to study abroad. Only 300,000 of those have returned.”

The rest stayed and are busy spying for the Chinese army.

Let's see: Enormous amounts of cancer-causing pollution - check

Hostile, foreign environment - check

Backward-ass culture (see condoms for hair scrunchies, cardboard rolls, horse fights to the death - check

Oh BOY! I can't wait to leave western civ and go to work for the Chi-Coms!! Where do I sign up?

“..Chinese see their universities as a disaster, prone to turn out graduates who can pass exams but lack any creative or entrepreneurial skills.

Those with creative and entrepreneurial skills in a communist society are often rewarded by a firing squad.

Sounds like a great opportunity, other than having to eat Chinese every day, three times a day. And being under constant surveillance.

I know several Filipino engineers who went to work for a Chinese company in China. The couldn’t wait to get the heck out. They were routinely subjected to middle of the night no knock searches of their apartment on the premise that because they were Filipinos they must have pornography and prostitutes in the apartment.

The problem, Hu, is not the university, it’s you and your style of government.

In china, deviating from the proscribed gummint approved standard can mean death. In non-totalitarian countries, risk-taking is ok, even encouraged, but may be punished by laughter or a low grade, not by death.

Actually corporate America is training them so they can go back to China and set up a factory to do jobs that American workers are doing.

The one on the far right is cute, the only hot one is the one above the ‘P’ in Pageant. The rest are pretty meh. You can find a more attractive selection at most American universities if Asian is your thing.

I didn’t know the west was “in awe” of China’s educational advances, except for people who have been incessantly repeating the silly “they graduate hundreds of thousands of engineers annually, we can’t keep up!” cannard.

China has appealed for 150,000 skilled foreign workers to help boost its economy.

Too bad they had their own would-be skilled workers killed years ago with their policies of infanticide and forced abortion.

The 1.6m engineer figure is probably overstated. In China, elevator and air conditioner repairmen are engineers.

Judging from the sponsors, this is an NYC area pageant. So someone has probably seen the same set of gals at some NYC area college.

Hard to get foreigners when your edge is that your wages are the lowest around. I think they could get Vietnamese, Cambodians, Pakistanis, Indians and Africans if they went recruiting. Everyone else is out of their salary range.
