Because this isn’t a war it’s an ethnic cleansing

International students from china literally subsidize tuition for american kids, especially at the less affluent schools. Plenty of retaliatory tools left in China’s toolbox.

In terms of both economic and military strength it feels like Trump expected everyone to go “Oh no we need them, guess we’ll have to take a worse deal” but instead they were like “We need stability and can’t trust the US to keep its contracts for the next several years at least, so we’ll have to source elsewhere.”

Or worse, they conclude everything was actually perfectly fine and noone did anything wrong despite the obvious victims. Obligatory meme

Universities are already required to do ‘export controls’ checks and create access control plans for sensitive research data and tech. Wonder why they’re targeting these particular students (who’ve already been vetted).

The study, published by the University of Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Centre, asked people to rate their own lives on a scale of 0-10 - zero being the worst possible life and 10 being the best possible life.

Maybe finns write 10 because they think their lives are the least bad of their possible life trajectories
