trump's WAR ON HARVARD IS GOOD NEWS for CHINA By Katia Dmitrieva May 23, 2025 at 2:59 AM MST bloomberg.com US President Donald Trump’s move to effectively ban Harvard University from enrolling international students may seem like a problem contained to one elite institution. But the effects are likely to ricochet globally for many years to come — and China could reap the benefit. The decision to revoke the school’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification injects uncertainty for current and prospective international students attending US colleges, a dynamic that was already playing out with the administration’s anti-immigrant push. If you’re facing onerous fees — international students often pay three or four times the domestic rate — you want certainty that the university won’t kick you out just before you graduate. And if it can happen to Harvard, the oldest college in the US, it can surely happen to others across the country. The assault on a beacon of US education ostensibly in the name of tackling anti-semitism is the latest move that erodes the nation’s soft power globally. The administration has cut funding or dissolved institutions including USAID, Voice of America and Radio Free Asia. Other universities in the US and internationally are likely to capitalize on Harvard’s plight, snatching the smartest minds — dozens of Nobel laureates attended or taught at the school. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has already offered to unconditionally accept Harvard students. In China, President Xi Jinping aims to attract 50,000 American students for foreign-exchange programs over a five-year period, a program he announced two years ago alongside President Joe Biden during a visit to Washington. That followed a State Department decision made in 2020 during Trump’s first-term to terminate five cultural-exchange programs from China, accusing them of propaganda. Five years on, thousands of international students at Harvard are suddenly left to deal with the life-changing repercussions of the Trump administration’s latest clash with US educators. For the best and brightest, the prospects of accepting a Chinese welcome may have just become that bit more appealing.

100% right. Their fakenews is hiding the SA murders from them and/or sugarcoating it. You have to understand that these lying libs can't tolerate facts or truth so they keep making this crap up to justify their dopey posts.
