Indeed, and our higher education is the top in the world.  [b]How can US kids handle that if they are so poorly educated[/b]  [/quote]

Depending on the major, they perhaps can't.  Most STEM majors at decent universities are dominated by Asians, too, and many bright public school kids can't hack an engineering or physics major.  It's also more common for kids to need remediation when they enter college, as well.  [/quote]

Do you mean actual citizens of China? Because it seems to me the “Asian kids” majoring in STEM are
nearly all also “US kids,” no? [/quote]

[b]There are a lots of Asian students from Asian in STEM in US colleges.[/b]  Go visit math or physics classes in schools like CMU, UIUC or UCLA.  You will find 1/3 or 1/2 of the classes are filled with foreign students.  Among the STEM students trained in the US colleges, 20-40% of them are not us citizen or permanent residents.  US used to be able to attract top talent from every cornor of the world but more and more US trained students are going back to their home country.  Guess why colleges accept so many foreign students? Because there are not enough us high school graduates with solid kmowledge to fill the slots.

I was just about to say that, except that 'actual citizens of China' aren't in STEM only, they major in other subjects, also. Everyone who works in higher education knows that.[/quote]
