Well, shit, TIL, thanks. I should’ve read the article better.
So why are all these people going there then, if they have no real promise of citizenship etc.? Or am I wrong there too? Is Chinese education that prestigious? Or are we talking PhDs and researchers and the likes?
Wouldn’t mind some other sources as well.
And what’s the number of international students at those Chinese universities? I doubt it’s anywhere near what the US has even on ICE raid day. China hates immigration. But they also got the money. The victors of globalismo are the ones who play the dirtiest with human lives.
By that definition sure they are, but that’s a really odd definition which would include basically all internet websites with some forum-esque component and images, including Lemmy and Reddit and twitter.
I would use the “List of imageboards” from this article instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard
None of those are imageboards
Huh? I was literally an international student in the UK at a UK university for a BSc and an MSc. It’s very obviously an incentive. I would say, the incentive. Of course the point of paying £14k a year for a degree was for well-off families of thirdworlders to give their children a better life in the west. My parents had the talk with me even as early as 10, saying that Russia is a politically unstable, backwards shithole, and that if one wants to live a life, one must go west.
They were pretty much spot on of course, given recent events, any amount of money was worth spending to gtfo from there, a life outside the third world is priceless regardless of how bad things get in terms of housing, anti-piracy etc.
In the third world people get treated like animals and so they treat each other like animals, but in the west you get a shot at something more.
Otherwise unless you’re specifically going into research where degrees are cred, you’re just falling for a pyramid scheme.
I can’t speak for everyone of course, but I knew a lot of “international students” since as early as year 9 of school all the way up to MSc and eventually work visas. Almost everyone had plans to settle, and anyone who claimed they weren’t doing it for eventual settlement and citizenship was lying to themselves big time lol, all who had it in them to not drop out are still here, counting the days.
