The new revoking of Harvard international student and scholar visa is completely self sabotaging. Here is how and why the US innovation and standing in the world needs international students https://t.co/PkXNOD3xe3
The Economist: “China’s four richest cities (with a combined population of 84m) have a GDP per person that exceeds Japan’s. Its poorest four provinces (population 140m), meanwhile, are closer in income to Vietnam.”

Xu Zhiyuan to @61LiuYi: “We’re living in a very exhausted era. People are facing an economic downturn, the uncertainty of international geopolitics and the…impact of AI all at once. People are in a deeply confused state, unable to find a direction.”

This is an excellent read of Shenzhen. Visitors are often impressed by Chinese big factories but the real strength of China is its ability to prototype fast. Andrew Huang wrote about this ten years ago in his excellent book, The Essential Guide to Electronics in Shenzhen.

Governor probably really doesn’t realize that even for non-STEM field like public policy, a big chunk of PhD students in U.S. universities are actually international students. Why? Because most Americans do not want to study PH.D.—arduous journeys often leading to research jobs!
🚨 BREAKING: In a bombshell moment, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ABOLISHES H-1B VISAS from being used at state universities
"We can do it with Florida RESIDENTS or AMERICANS! If we can't? Then man, we need to REALLY look deeply at what's going on with this situation!"
DeSantis exposed that H-1B AUDITS found colleges were bringing in Chinese people on visas to talk to students about "public policy," among other issues.
"Why do we need to bring someone from CHINA to talk about public policy?!"
"I am directing today the Florida Board of Governors to PULL THE PLUG on the use of these H-1B visas at our universities."
HUGE! I LOVE my state! @GovRonDeSantis ☀️
Sharing my interview with prof @YashengHuang of @MIT where we unpack the forces shaping China’s R&D ecosystem. Much of the discussion draws on insights from his book The Rise and Fall of the EAST in which Prof. Huang moves beyond the usual binaries of China being either a copycat or an unstoppable innovator.
We explore the cultural, institutional, and policy roots that both enable AND constrain its innovation ecosystem.
The conversation starts with the story of the “Chinese MIT,” the new argonauts driving China’s biotech boom, and the question of whether China is on the cusp of a Tang-style renaissance. Watch it here:
