My experiences with Chinese grad students was, for the most part, over 20 years ago. Granted, the CCP was running the show then as well, but I don’t think they were as paranoid and harsh as they are now under Xi Jin-Pingpong.

That being said, I am not disputing anything either of you have said, especially AZ, as I am well aware of his situation and experiences.

I’m also aware that 20 years tends to soften memories of things. That is especially true for things that were mostly on the periphery, as China was for me at the time. School, 9/11, Afghanistan and the emotional aftermath of it all, which we were all experiencing, kinda sucked up all the oxygen in the room, as it were.
