Whether or not a few people from China go to school here makes no difference. Did Rhodes scholarships like Bill Clinton's - make the US a puppet of the UK, make US universities nonexistent or inferior? China needs nothing from us any more, really. Except for providing examples on what not to do. :-)<br /><br />Education is not the central part of poverty elimination. Except perhaps for educating elites to be less predatory and to learn common sense they should absorbed in kindergarten. The central thing in ending poverty is deciding to end poverty. The US did it, especially during the New Deal, especially in the US South. China's approach is similar to FDR's. Which is just common sense. If people are out of work, give them jobs. Doing good stuff. Build things like the TVA. Disease is bad. So eliminate diseases like malaria. etcCalgacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031818010224747000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-77587814436931187512021-04-25T09:33:22.260-04:002021-04-25T09:33:22.260-04:00Matt, I didn't disparage you -- just American ...Matt, I didn't disparage you -- just American secondary education.
