Apr 08, 2015
With nearly 250,000 Chinese students studying in the United States, conflicts have arisen between students when discussing politics, raising into question the overall efficacy of direct political exchange. Based on extensive research, Henry Chiu Hail suggests that universities can do more to approach Chinese issues with nuance and diplomacy, and encourage friendly socialization between Chinese and Americans. Only then can universities establish the solidarity upon which weightier issues can be discussed.
