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

Any discussion about China needs to take into account of the economic polarization and diversity of this country.

[Jonathan Cheng @JChengWSJ]

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.”

Chinese AI talents take center stage in America, owing in large part to their superb math education received in China.

[Kyle Chan @kyleichan]

Chinese math Olympiad stars are helping to power America’s AI revolution. But what are their hopes and dreams and fears?

For more on China’s big reversal on AI x jobs, give a read to this thing that might’ve been published in some other website. Link in reply.

This is even an understatement of China’s youth employment problem as many are in grad programs postponing employment.

[Kyle Chan @kyleichan]

China’s youth unemployment rate is roughly double the US youth unemployment rate of 8.5%.

@KaiserKuo What about Yu Hua? Even musician Li Jian!

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.

I was talking about how patriotism abroad works for overseas Chinese youth in a recent book event in New York!

@isaacstonefish Harder to get into is not equivalent to academic rigor

[Yingyi Ma @yingyi_ma]

https://t.co/E47dvh48uY University of Nevada Las Vegas has established this Sand Institute on China, and I’m excited to join the group to participate in their first symposium of this week!

[Yingyi Ma @yingyi_ma]

@ryanl_hass @kyleichan I am thrilled!!!

[Yingyi Ma @yingyi_ma]

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!

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 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 ☀️

[Yingyi Ma @yingyi_ma]

@ruima So moving and inspiring! Let me know in what way I can be helpful in supporting girls like her!

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:
