This is obviously a joke right ?

No...this came up earlier this year with Trump talking about how much he loved Chinese people

I think it's part of a trade agreement for 7 different rare earth minerals to be imported from China

No CST

Took a rather long unexpected nap earlier this afternoon and it messed up my sleep schedule. If I go back to sleep now it will just get worse so i'm going to ride it out. Looks like I'll be in bed by 8 for the rest of the week

Well, hello and welcome to late night shenanigans. I got interested in chatGPT and found myself at 330am sad and regretful as I need to get up around 7ish. Although chatgpt was oddly, socially, fulfilling.

Here's to hoping both our rhythms get reset in a positive manner!

While I'm totally against this Trump decision, he's still better than Harris would've been.

My dog's shite would have been better than Harris, and it still wouldn't have allowed 600K Chinese students into the US

I see no advantages to this at all. On what day did any of us ever wake up and say to ourselves, you know what this country really needs? About 600,000 more Chinese students.

Each and every one of them will be an agent of the Chinese Communist Party. They will all have orders to steal our technology and undermine the security of our industry and research.

Allowance is not automatic. Difference here is they have to make the cut and will be vetted. They will not cross the border unchallenged and undocumented. And don't F up or you are gone.

Trump or Stephen Miller needs to explain this.

It may be a case that Trump see's 30 billion a year dollars into the US economy. 80% of them go home when they graduate.

But Trump is an idiot to just say this outright with no explanation. Even if it is playing nice so they don't invade Taiwan. Tit for Tat whatever deal...

Someone needs to explain the vetting process because the CCP are slick as snake oil salesmen.

Howard Lutnick said that if those kids don't go to college, 15% of colleges would close.

Maybe we have too many colleges...

I think it's tied to negotiations with the ChiComs too, especially over the rare earth magnet issue. The statement implicitly states he does NOT have to give ANY Chinese students s student visa WITHOUT saying it!

We dense Americans may not well understand that which isn't stated but the Chinese are long time masters at it.

And he is not saying they can emigrate here...is not a student visa is only valid while one is a student, once they graduate are they not obligated to go back unless they find some other legal way of staying

And they can be revoked at any time if they play any funny business as we’ve seen with other visas/student crackdowns.

I think we can see this as a bargaining tool and as they get further away from some concession, that 600k becomes 500, then 300, etc.

We shall see.

What will we do with a 15% reduction in liberal indoctrination centers?
