You've supplied your own very misleading headline which is not reflective of the facts presented by the article. Mainland Chinese students today sound very much like the students from Taiwan and Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s who integrated very little into social life with other students, spending their time studying instead - and also isolated by their poor English skills. Students from Hong Kong were generally a little more social due to their somewhat better English skills and coming from a more independent culture than Taiwan or Mainland China. This cultural difference is the cause of the current problems between China and the citizens of Hong Kong. In what way do you believe universities have become China-friendly? —— And I don't understand what you mean by universities offering Chinese students a slanted version of 'today's facts'. There's no difference between communist physics and capitalist physics, nor is there a right wing or left wing physics. Intellectuals at US universities have become China-friendly. After decades of huge profits from an influx of Chinese students. Today academics from these US universities offer a Chinese slanted version of today's facts. Case in point Aldo Musacchio an expert on Brazilian business at Brandeis University In my quantitative chemistry I had two female lab partners from Taiwan. I did the experiments and called out the readings to them and they kept meticulous notes while chatting in Cantonese. I doubt they had any non-Chinese friends on campus - and it sounds like Mainland students are the same. Virtually all students coming to major US universities are accustomed to receiving A grades, whether from the US, China or elsewhere — and it's a shock for virtually all of them to receive lower grades for the first time in their life, as it was for me. Instead of being one of the few smartest kids in your high school, you're now competing with the smartest people from high schools from all around the world. It's challenging.
