Meanwhile, in America, a drug manufacturer sold tainted eye-drops that killed and seriously maimed people, and not one exec has faced consequences. There’s barely been any media scrutiny, just boilerplate articles that refuse to name names or even attempt to explain what the fuck went wrong. As for the FDA, I’ve given up on them. They’re fucking useless.

I’m against the death penalty, but at the same time I can’t stand lib orgs like Amnesty who screech about how DYsTOPiAn the death penalty is in China when we have the exact same system here in the States except worse because it targets poor and non-white people exclusively.

A lot of the Chinese international students at my college were like that. Might be a biased sample size, though. People who move to different countries are more likely to be partial to said countries.

idk the chinese group at my college was based. its a lot of people coming over for a lot of reasons tbh. also international students got a much cheaper rate and i was bewildered by that. feel like more kids in america need to be pressured to go abroad for education, seems way cheaper

Huh, really? I went to a public university and the international students paid the full out-of-state rate, which is like three or four times the in-state rate–gave the school a large incentive to attract international students.
