“He said he had no illusions about China, a surveillance state where academic freedom is sharply constrained. “But in China, I know what to expect…I know what the rules are. In the U.S., it’s completely ambiguous. I might be taken away for voicing an opinion. In China, at least, I can control that”

“Gergo Tóth-Göde, 19, a second-year student from Hungary, recalled being rejected by Princeton. Now, he said, it doesn’t seem like such a lost opportunity. For his third year abroad, he is applying to programs in China, Vietnam and Singapore, arguing that the future is in Asia.”

“As a Black woman, Ms. Bilas said, she also worried about whether she would face racism, particularly in the wake of erroneous claims made during the 2024 presidential campaign by Mr. Trump & Vice President JD Vance about Haitian immigrants &the impact they have on American cities where they settle”

“Maïwen Bilas, 18, a French second-year student raised in Guadeloupe, a French territory in the Caribbean, said she had planned to apply to Columbia for a master’s degree. But she is reconsidering after hearing stories of immigration officers demanding the smartphones of people entering the U.S.”

BYD have a whole range of cars, and all of them sexier than a cyber truck, they charge faster, go further than Tesla's, so they'll never see the light of day on the American market.

Beautiful for $55k, guess they can go cheaper cause they don't have to pay their CEO $50 billion+ a year to be a dickhead

Look at this tasty little number from BYD, the Denza Z, with 1000bhp and 0-60 in under TWO SECONDS, prices start at around $55k, this is why some countries wont sell Chinese cars, they're way cheaper and much better.

Gorgeous car! Range of ~400 mi! Here? Trump is trying to kill EVs and deny climate change. No wonder we are slow to convert to EVs.
