Any truth to this?


Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?


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.

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.

So what's your real concern? 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.





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?


Take it up with Richard Nixon. The opening of U.S. educational opportunities to Chinese students began under President Richard Nixon's administration. His 1972 visit to China marked a thaw in U.S.-China relations, leading to agreements on cultural and educational exchanges. The first formal exchange of Chinese students and scholars to the U.S. started in 1978 under the Carter administration, following the normalization of diplomatic relations.

That seems to be the prevailing attitude. "Status quo is the way to go" and all that.

That is 2% of the national debt.

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?


I present to you news from yesterday...

Meth ingredient bound for Mexican drug cartel halted in California, ICE says

Port of Long Beach authorities seize 55 tons of chemical used to make meth

https://www.freightwaves.com/news/meth-ingredient-bound-for-mexican-drug-cartel-halted-in-california-ice-says

So, with eveything that's gone on with China in the past couple of months and Trump really slamming down on them very publicly, do you think they are taking him seriously?

What do you think would happen to someone caught shipping 55 tons of chemicals used to make meth from Shanghai to Hong Kong illegally for internally making fentanyl to sell to their own population without the Chinese govt knowing about it? You think they might get tried and executed with expediency by Beijing?

With all that said, you're upset with Trump leaning on Harvard for it's close ties with the Chinese? He has no reason to use any measures or executive force and power to send the message to China we're f'n serious and knock it off? He should just be a nice guy and let it go?

Stop with your gaslighting BS....this is MAGAs mantra to try and avoid that their dictator in chief is a racist and it's why most republicans voted for him. You could give a crap about these people but here you are pretending to be outraged about their wages.

DP. You are absolutely correct. Other countries would summarily execute drug smugglers - and do quite often. Seems like the current fentanyl epidemic is reminiscent of the massive sale of opium the Chinese population during the 19th Century (albeit committed by the British). Drugs can destroy a country from within and may have held back China's economic development during that time. Chinese interference in the U.S. has been pervasive and it isn't xenophobia to crack down on it. It's a national security priority. Unfortunately, too many people are used to getting that sweet $$$$ from China, which is almost a drug in and of itself.
