When I was in China I met a few of those "privileged" little brats. The ones I met were spoiled and horribly behaved. But we noticed that the one child policy seemed to be spoiling many children. Only children can be terrible tyrants, at least I was.

Princelings? The children of major party bosses. Especially one of Dung's kids. There are not enough senior communist bosses to provide the thousands of Chinese students who study in the U.S. Chinese graduate students are moving rapidly into leadership in many of the sciences. I have had hundreds of mainland students. I am close enough to some of them to have helped them bring out their families and make a permanent move. I know some of their stories. Many have suffered terribly under this regime. Two-thirds of all Chinese students studying aborad don't go back to China. Sending students abroad is an awful loss of human capital. The undergraduates may be something else. Some of them don't seem extraordinarily intelligent as are many of the graduate students. My impression is that many of the undergraduates come from the speculator or capitalist class in Guangdung Province. Foreign students are not allowed to work (unlike the graduate students who can work in research related to their studies) and need cash. But many of the undergraduates wash dishes and wait tables, working illegally at two or three part-time jobs like the Chinese graduate business students. The Chinese students I know are superior in almost every way (except spoken English) to American students, even Chinese-American and Japanese-American students. There is a lot of discrimination against them. I think they know they have to be super smart and energetic. I hope most of them can stay in the US if they wish, as a majority seem to wish.
