Technically yes, but the ways US and China treat foreigners are at two extremes. As long as you are invited and keep your mouth shut about ccp, China does not care about papers. One famous example is an athlete, when…

The textbook poverty which are created by such organization itself with strategic planning and a controlled economy in the first place, killing ~30 million. All the more impressive it only took them under 10 years.
This actually applies to the US as well. Anytime you need to send $1k+ to a stranger the process is a pain in the ass. > ACH, most bank does not allow send to stranger, and it takes 1~3 days for settlement among those…
Not only this, it also enables sneaker/pokemon/5090 scalping, Chinese/Russian using ChatGPT/Claude. A residential IP in the US is very valuable elsewhere.
Yep this is the right answer, address jigging is the oldest trick in botting. Nowadays with fingerprint browser, generated credit card number and residential proxy, it is very hard to tell legit buyers from scalpers.
Your reply already shows the difference. In US you have the default expectation of privacy, until the feds get their eyes on you. Meanwhile in China the default expectation is no privacy, exactly as OP argued. This…
By which it is implied such trips are obviously non-starters for foreign students. This is the most evident during Thanksgiving and Christmas when most undergrad students in the US reunion with their family and friends.
Well why Americans are not willing to take those PhD offers that pay barely above poverty line for 5 years or so? The answer is obvious, they would rather take a job in industry that pays miles better. There is really…
Not is but the obvious one was COVID policy during 2020-2022. It triggered the closest thing to a domestic unrest you can get in China after 1989, a large exodus of middle class, and an almost 50% crash in their real…
Any source? In my field US Citizens and permanent residents are actually preferred for at least two reasons, first they are eligible for graduate grants like NSF so they are not using department's money; second upon…
Because no one in their right mind will work the Chinese 996-esque schedule in the 21st century, except the Chinese? They are actually importing Chinese workers to their Brazil factory, leading to the slave labor expose…
I wonder what will happen to Chinese employees of Anthropic/OpenAI/Google Gemini? Given the ubiquitous Chinese names in AI papers there must be quite a few. They probably have gotten their PR or in the process, but…
