The narrative of Chinese international students being brainwashed CCP militants or terrified informants is miles away from every interaction I've actually had with Chinese international students. Even when 'sensitive topics' are brought up. I think there are some bad trends and some very vocal and nationalistic exceptions that make for some sensational news stories. Like most college students, everyone is mostly just concerned with homework and getting along with their roommates.
