re: U.S. delegation throws away every gift from Chinese hosts — no exceptions.

They put a guy walking the carpet with Trump that was just as tall or taller then him. Where did they find that guy???????

What does that have to do with half a million Chinese students taking elite slots from Americans?
Do you somehow "understand the world" so much better than you can justify it?

The chinese students taking this many slots away from American kids hits different. The die hards on this site will defend him to the grave but trump just pissed away the midterms. No amount of redistricting will save him now.

Been to a few graduations this week. Common thread is good American kids are struggling to find slots at Universities due to foreigners takign everything.

The war in IRan is bad. But stealing dreams from the kids of your base is suicide.

Trump just betrayed everyone.

So what you are saying is we need DEI for stupid American kids who did not have the grades or GMAT scores to get them into graduate programs???

Due to the ignorant student "loan" program we probably have 20% of kids who should never have been allowed in a University to begin with.

Chinese student enrollment has declined for the last five years in a row and now is at 265K.

Trump touted chinese student enrollment in the past.....and it keeps declining. Just diplomatic speak.

Our own education system in 4th, 8th, and yet again 12th grade shows math and reading levels below standard by over a third of those tested.

I stood in a bar next to a college student where I saw her write down 17 and 38 on a piece of paper, failed to add it and whipped out her phone to calculate it because she could not figure out how to "carry" the 10 when she added 7 and 8.

Course that was not as bad as the Venezuelan "student" who was peddling her arse while wearing a "Che" tshirt. I wanted to tell her that her country's policies of following Che is the reason she is now hooking for a living in a foreign country

I'm wondering where they rounded up all those 7 foot Chinese soldiers that are lined up the path of the red carpet

I noticed that as well, those soldiers are extremely tall. Definitely optics and intimidation.
