Seems more like the opposite...

on the assimilation that is...

Not really. You're losing political grip on what used to be firmly in your hinterland (SA is a notable example, as is Europe and us)

Of course, SA was always more obviously there...

Only one that's still acting very *****like is Japan.

Don't get that analogy in this case. Further elucidation required

**TCO** · July 15, 2003, 01:06

wink wink..

**KrazyHorse** · July 15, 2003, 01:06

Aha. It's interesting, but F1 is under "nonimmigrant" section of classifications...

**KrazyHorse** · July 15, 2003, 01:08

BTW, why do so few US students attend your grad schools? Entering class is 24/35 foreigners...

EDIT: wink wink not necessary BTW...in case you thought I was still being hush hush

Supply and demand. There are not enough (desirable) jobs for American elite students at the outlet of Ph.D. programs. So they go to med school or the like instead. But there is a demand for lots of lab techs to do all the work that professors can get grants for. So the departments bring in Chinese to fill the gap.

It's a slippery slope. Like taking that first drag and then turning into a reefer madness killer.

12/35 definitely PRC
2 probable (attended US undergrad, but not US citizen, asian name)
1 Taiwanese

Hah hah. But little do you know that 70-80% of my profs have had undergrad degrees here and grad diplomas from US.

Bad analogy, BTW. THC < C2H5OH for me...
