It's surprising how few Chinese people study in America. With a population 1/14th of America, Australia has 150,000 Chinese students.
The US entry refusals should be familiar fare to Chinese citizens though, as their Govt employs stochastic enforcement all the time, including for censorship and as part of trade disputes.
It sucks for the individuals, but this really isn't about them, it's about the CCP and it's ongoing campaign of industrial espionage and global surveillance.
It is likely a number of 'students' were also part of the diaspora surveillance network, routinely reporting back about the behaviour of overseas Chinese citizens and especially minorities.
- powerapple 3y agoAustralia is full of CCPs, especially corrupted officials, Canada and Australia are popular destinations because it is first world country with immigration policy. (especially their kids don't study well and are spoiled, it is not a problem for Australia apparently) Actually most students go to US are amongst the best students from China, either top students or really hardworking students, and most of them will be excellent engineers and scientists, if US is pushing them away, it is probably good for China.
- TimJRobinson 3y agoForeign students pay 2-3x as much as Australians do to study in Australia. Allowing rich Chinese children to study abroad contributes a lot to Australia's economy and those high fees subsidise everyone else which allows keeping local tuition low, which is why Australia is so open to them.
- powerapple 3y agonot only students, Australia welcomes every dollar. I don't blame them. It is a beautiful country, and I would go there and live in a mansion if I have enough money. The side effect is the property price will increase, but property owners can make a lot money.
- fakedang 3y agoThis is the same argument pushed by US and UK universities with huge numbers of foreign students, but how is that reflected in the tuition rates for local students? All that does is pay for an even more over bloated yet ever expanding university system.
- gedy 3y ago> those high fees subsidise everyone else Rather, they also elevate tuition costs for everyone and many schools are very lenient on cheating by people paying these high fees.

- powerapple 3y agoI don't think his daughter would have bad scores, in general, those kids would actually do well in school, not spoiled. but I also don't think many (not only Xi's daughter) political offsprings are qualified for the best universities if they were evaluated the same way as commons.

- throwaway48476 3y agoHardly anonymous if it's widely known.
- Rinzler89 3y agoWhat is widely known? What's her name? Where does she study?
