Chinese president Xi was educated in America
his daughter according to your own link goes to Harvard
does that mean China controls American education ?
300 million Americans count for more than 1.4 billion Chinese - why shouldn’t Universities prioritize Americans over Chinese ? Americans are more important.
in the movie “The Lover” ( 1992 )
the girl is allowed to break all sorts of school rules because she is white and in that 3rd world country having a white girl in the school immediately increases the school’s prestige
who gives a shit if some fucking Chinese monkey can spend 20 hours a day studying for tests ? will they ever amount to anything ? the chance is literally one in a million.
on other hand a son of some American diplomat is almost guaranteed to become a somebody regardless of his academic performance.
should a school accept somebody with 80% chance of succeeding in life or somebody with 0.0008% chance ?
this is basic common sense. schools want to make sure they are investing in students which are likely to become a somebody which will in turn benefit the prestige of the school, or may result in donations or these people will send their own children to the school and so on.
and as for why would an American linked school be more prestigious than non-American-linked one ?
well because what all Chinese really want is to learn English and move to America.
i don’t disagree with the Author but i simply didn’t find anything surprising in his blog.
