@badluck5647 "Asian" in the Commonwealth and the US mean different things. For those who still count the late Queen as their monarch, "Asian" tends to mean Pakistani/Hindu/Indian. For the US, it tends to refer to Northeast Asia, particularly Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan. Both tend to agree on "Indo" as referring to Southeast Asia.

Agreed. South Korean, Taiwanese, and Japanese students are a safer option as contrasted with mainland Chinese. Heck, even diaspora Chinese populations such as Indonesian and Malaysian Chinese are a safer option.

@quadq6598 Learn the lessons of the 1939 Munich conference. The Brits have vowed never to repeat Chamberlain's blunder again.

Agreed. I am all for encouraging the Chinese students to defect to the West. But to do that something needs to be done about the CIs. So long as they operate with impunity, it will be impossible for the dissidents to live without having to watch their backs.
