[quote=Anonymous]To me this has taken an oddly xenophobic turn. I like the idea of having Chinese elites (commercial for now, maybe political someday) having had four years to experience American culture and some of the best of our values (free speech, freedom of inquiry) -- it can only enhance U.S.-China relations. Contrast that with crazy isolated North Korea. I like my kids meeting bright young people from around the world -- intellectual and career contacts could come from that. I think full-paying international kids probably frees up more money for American kids who need aid. If my kid doesn't get into Harvard because 10% of the slots are going to brilliant Chinese students, then my kid will get in somewhere else where they will have a great intellectual experience. We have the best colleges/universities in the world and there are plenty of great options. [/quote]
