A decade ago, when we talked about the uprising of China, we probably refee to the Chinese products in the merchandise stores. Now the China economy is blooming, creating many "suddenly" middle class. Most of them would send their childrenn to the US colleges.
Working at a university in the Midwest, I can see the "evidence" for that. Our univesity only had 200 Chinese students in the year of 2006; this year we have over 900 Chinese students. In the "od days" most Chinese students came to US Graduate, now most of them are the full-fee undergraduate students.
I have no onbjections that the US college accept Chinese students, if their academic standard are acceptable level. I have seen so many Chinese high school students who has 1.7, or 2,0 GPA (on a 4 scale), still have no problem to be admitted because they show their bank statements and pay the tuition upfront. SOme admissions administrators even express that those students are the main income of the university.
How sad it is? What's wrong with our education system?
