    1. All major powers in history used education as a way to spread and sustain influence. It won’t take long for the US to find out that doing business is much harder if you have no influence.

    2. I guess they’re really trying to attract top talent from around the world.

      Well that makes sense. Someone said they didn’t want their lunch of course someone else is going to eat it.

      It’s basically free soft power to do this. China understands the game. America, apparently, does not.

      This comes right after China agreed to pay the $500 million the US decided not to give WHO. The US is becoming more irrelevant by the day and China is just letting it happen. They’ve got to be shocked at the US self-destructing with all of these unforced errors.

    6. America is basically Russia – a corrupt dictatorship ultimately run by oligarchy for the oligarchy with a lot of nukes and poor people, but otherwise irrelevant on the global stage.

      Guys? I’m starting to think this Donald Trump guy is not all that much of a geopolitical genius.

    8. Ok, ok, ok. So, apart from pushing talented students out, and pushing scientists out, and undermining the economy, and turning allies against the U.S., and supporting dictators, and undermining he free press, and undermining the courts……. what has Trump ever done wrong?

      I can’t tell if he’s a Russian asset, a Chinese one or both.

      China is loving this, it’s expanding it’s influence over the world.

    11. The dumbest President driving away the smartest students. America, wut doing?

      The US has until now been able to suck in most of the world’s talent by being very open to international students.

      The amount of effective brain drain that’s going to happen now is going to cost the US for decades.

      Who could have predicted that anti-intellectualism in the United States would open the door to a massive brain drain that benefits our geopolitical foes?

    14. Nothing says „winning“ more than giving an entire generation of business, law, medical, and economics students to our biggest rival. /s

      China has been really coming at the US’s place in the world hard since Trump start his trade war with them. It’s been kinda funny to watch.

      As much as I dislike Harvard, (being in RnD research I deal with a lot of insufferable Harvard alumni), we can’t let the world’s most prestigious university fall to blatant exploitation and political weaponization.

      This doesn’t help anyone but Trump.

      And the excuse? Antisemitism? If I were Jewish I would be *livid* knowing this admin is trotting out my religion as an excuse to attack academia. This is the sort of shit that turns stomachs and minds against Israel. Stay the fuck out of my politics, my universities and my media.

    17. Theee things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

    18. Locking the world’s best and brightest out of furthering their education will only drive them to other places. This administration is doing everything to keep people stupid and uneducated and it’s going to backfire and have consequences for decades to come.

      I don’t see a lot of potential Harvard grads being willing to take up this offer, but if a similarly prestigious international institution (e.g. Oxford or Cambridge) made this offer, I could totally see a lot of international students shift over.

      >A Hong Kong college has promised „unconditional offers“ for international students at Harvard after the Trump administration [revoked the Ivy League’s ability to enroll them](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-stops-harvard-enrolling-international-students-2076002).

      >Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) said it would help „ensure a smooth transition“ for students who may be unable to enroll for the next school year.

      >Critics have warned the Trump administration’s move could deter top talent from abroad from coming to the United States to study. HKUST’s offer indicates an increasing number of international students could choose top institutions in China, Hong Kong and in other places instead.

      International Students who graduated from American colleges go on to make great contributions to American science and technology. Trump is just making America dumber and letting us fall further behind.

      USA: “We don’t want you remarkably giften foreigners!”

      China: “Word!” *SCOOP*

    22. BeeMovieEnjoyer on

      Trump is a foreign asset attempting to distribute our country’s influence to the East. I’m fully convinced.

    23. Specific-Frosting730 on

      Can the American government stop acting like asshats about nearly everything?

      All Trump accomplishes is making us all look like incompetent idiots.

    24. This is like when the UK / US saved all those German scientists and intellectuals during the early days of Nazi purges.

    25. Trump is ceding so much to China – if we’re in a race with China, they are winning

    26. NemoLeeGreen on

      It won’t be long before US loses the power race to our enemies and the world goes to shit.

    27. I think ALL international univercitys will offer to take in the students.
      Another loss for USA.

    28. obelix_dogmatix on

      lol … noone with half a brain is going to China to study. Not like authoritarian regime is absent in China.

    29. I feel like we are on a road to having some country expel all American international students.

    30. sorrydaijin on

      How many own goals has this been? I am not even American, but this is frustrating to watch.
