[quote=Anonymous]I used to think it was a good thing if top American universities had a large contingent of foreign students, but I've reconsidered this. US taxpayers tremendously subsidize even the most well endowed universities, whether through federal research grants, direct aid or the tax code for charitable bequests. With demand for admission so great from U.S. applicants, it seems insane that 15-20% of university classes are made up of non-US students. Moreover, the grand thinking behind taking students from China -- that it would inculcate them in Western values of intellectual freedom and democracy, which they would take with them when they returned to begin careers at home -- was flawed. That experiment didn't turn out so well, as the princelings of the Communist and oligarch elites don't have much interest after all in seeing change in an established system that already privileges them.[/quote]
