Is it a law? A statute? Part of the US Code? An en Executive Order? What are we talking about here |
The government has many metrics for employment. Look at U-6. The 4% you cite is the percent unemployed among people actively looking for work. The share of eligible workers who are looking for work has dropped substantially over 20 years. |

Thank you. |
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? |
Oh, no worries. We solved that during covid. Just switch to remote schooling and parent your own kids. |
Use of parole is supposed to be on a case by case basis. This was ignored by Biden(and others). Then a district judge rules Trump can't withdraw Biden's illegal grant because the withdrawal must be on a case by case basis. |
Google AI says 20% from China. That still sounds like a lot. I wonder how many are graduate students vs. undergrad. |
NP. I fact checked this with AI and then double checked the cited sources. 1) The claim that 30% of Harvard's student body is from China is not supported by current data. According to a recent report, international students make up 27% of Harvard's total enrollment, with China being the top country of origin among these students . However, this does not equate to 30% of the entire student body being from China. Sources: i. Foreign Students Make Up 27% of Harvard's Enrollment https://www.statista.com/chart/34519/international-students-at-harvard-university/?utm_source=chatgpt.com ii. According to the Harvard International Office, 1,282 students from China currently study at Harvard. (This means that the no. of Chinese students at Harvard is between 18-19% of the international student population at Harvard.) https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/5/29/chinese-student-visas/?utm_source=chatgpt.com 2) Regarding the assertion that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) refers to Harvard as their "Party School," there is evidence that some Chinese officials have colloquially used this term. Harvard's Kennedy School of Government has hosted numerous mid-career and senior CCP officials for executive training and postgraduate studies, leading to this informal nickname . However, this is not an official designation by the CCP. Source: https://www.wsj.com/world/china/china-communist-party-harvard-f855112b?utm_source=chatgpt.com 3) As for funding, reports indicate that Harvard received approximately $69.9 million from Chinese sources over a certain period, making it the top U.S. university in terms of Chinese funding during that time . This figure does not necessarily equate to $70 million annually, and the exact annual amount may vary. Lastly, while Harvard has trained individuals who later took positions in various governments, including China's, the university offers public service programs of study that are open to all students. There is no direct evidence to suggest that Harvard's programs are specifically designed to influence the U.S. government on behalf of the CCP.

What better way to "convert" people from less-than-democratic countries to the American way of life than to have them study at our universities? Did you know that Xi Jiping's only child studied at Harvard? "Xi enrolled in Harvard University in the United States in 2010, after a year of undergraduate study at Zhejiang University. She enrolled under a pseudonym and maintained a low profile. In 2014, she graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and was thought to have returned to Beijing." The Chinese who send their children here to study want the perceived prestige of an American education for their children. And they're not just sending them to the US. Chinese students make up the largest share of international students in Australia (the second most popular destination for Chinese students). Chinese students are the largest international student group in the UK (over r 150,000 enrolled in recent years, many drawn to prestigious institutions like Cambridge, Oxford, and LSE). And about 100,000 Chinese students study in Canada. |
Are we converting them or are they converting us?
Let's clear this up first. |
Converting us to what? Valuing education and making lots of money? |
So we're just ignoring the widespread intellectual property theft, yuan currency manipulation, Chinese "Police Stations" in our country, injecting CCP propaganda in to our media, flooding the US with fentanyl, elite capture on our soil and especially the DC cocktail circuit, infiltrating our federal reserve, the CCP linked bioweapons lab in Reedley CA, the constant trickle of info from our National Labs to the PRC, Tiktok spying and subversion, societal destabilization AND as they call it themselves - "Death by a Thousand Cuts" (hybrid unconventional warfare)? Just ignore it? |
You mean through the dozens of Confucius Institutes at many of our universities? What's going on there? |
Of course, not. I would hope that our intelligence agencies are monitoring this type of activity, whether conducted by Chinese or people of any other nationality. But how does any of this relate to Chinese studying in the US or anywhere else in the western world? |
