Meanwhile Chinese academics in the US are treated as spies by the bourgeoisie security state and inhumanly by born and raised amerikkkans.
It’s genuinely terrifying. A comrade of mine that is a Russian citizen also goes to my university here in amerika and their teachers called the fucking pigs to do a “wellness” check. That they are Russian adds an extra layer to this kind of terrorism and I have no doubt it is like this for Chinese students and teachers.
Because they desperately want to avoid a brain drain to China. Former Chinese nationals who went to school in the West and stayed in Western academia are already going back in droves because of, oh I don’t know, the full-on mask off Asian hate in conjunction with the blatant science denialism in the West maybe, and it’s honestly a matter of time before a ton of non-Chinese people start seeking academic careers in China too, basically a reverse to how Chinese people were seeking careers in the West (before the West really started going to shit and prompted a ton of them to go back).

I don’t really see it happening tbh. China doesn’t seem to be that desperate to grab any talent they can (unlike certain other places). Not to mention other factors

Thanks for the info!
Damn I should start unironically looking into this.
I wouldn’t be so sure. China has been gradually making it easier for non-Chinese people, even Westerners, to live and work there lately, whereas previously it was extremely closed off and basically no one could get any sort of residence. Whether this is directly in response to an influx of people wanting to move to China or for some other reason I’m not sure though.
At this point if you want to know anything about China without getting propaganda/unrelated bs tossed in your way, you’ll need to start using Baidu or Shenme.
(Western) Search Engines have become this degraded, my god. What the hell happened after 2015? I noticed the Internet turning into a hellscape after 2015.
And westerners have the guts to say they don’t live in a “totalitarian dictatorship” like China.
Not 2015 but 2016, I think after the Trump and Bernie social media successes either the CIA or NSA realized they needed a much firmer grip on the internet, or they could lose control of the country.
I wonder what will come out of this “Trojan Horse” once let into the West. Quantum gravity preprints with swords and bronze helmets?
Good. PRC please hijack my entire country.
Uhhh yeah… about that…
(Also, didn’t DDG block Russian websites despite claiming to allow unrestricted searching or something?)
Yes, I never use DDG to search for stuff about Russia, but otherwise seems fine. Search results involving China are pretty negative, but I’d say that’s because widely visited English-language websites are. In fact, the Quora page gives a pretty positive view of academia in China.
It’s so obvious how the first result is propped up there it’s funny
DAMN IT! CHINA IS JUST A FRONT FOR GREECE!
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRUSTED THEM.
