The Chinese government said Friday that the Trump administration’s move to ban international students from Harvard would harm America’s international standing, as anxious students and parents overseas fretted over what would come next.

Among the two largest parts of the international student community in Harvard are Chinese and Indian students. The university enrolled 6,703 international students across all of its schools in 2024, according to the school’s data, with 1,203 of those from China and 788 from India.

Not everything China says or does is bad. The CCP may be inhumane authoritarians but they aren't ignorant, retarded, trust-fund-baby, narcissists like most western oligarchs. They're probably the most highly educated government in the world right now, which is why they went all in on renewables — while the USA was sucking Exxon-Mobil and Saudi dick — and are rapidly approaching technological superiority. They will be THE superpower of the 21st C, whether we like it or not.
