Its a funny thing, anybody who's a resident of California would know the wave of Chinese that arrived around the 2000-2015 timeframe, mostly consisted of two types. 1. Millionaires who needed a place to park their money. 2. Educated professionals starting families and boiling their entire life in the West down to one and only one purpose, getting their kids into an Ivy League school. I wonder how the latter feels now with all of Trump's assaults on education that their bet has essentially gone bust?

It’s not something you can fix with a new administration. Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s was the place to study math and science, not just in Europe but the whole world. After a series of unfortunate decisions made by their political leaders, today German universities are mostly just good enough technical colleges, while the mantle of true higher education passed onto the Anglosphere and Switzerland. Imagine removing yourself from your homeland to an unfamiliar climate, for the sake of your child's education, and all that awaits their hardwork, is a just good enough technical college.

You are assuming they’ll actually go to college and not somewhere worse when Project 1825 is in full swing.

Eh idk.
While I do regard China in a positive light, I do agree that fast fashion is exploitative and terrible.
I can criticize SHEIN based on its own faults without any prejudice that it's capitalistic, exploitative and horrible for working men and women who work there.

Remember, China is not a monolith. China is not perfect. If something warrants criticisms, then so be it.

Sure, but shein have hundreds if not thousands of suppliers, curious how she researched or picked this one, also posting in youtube, so for international audience. If she wants some change though, wouldnt it be better to publish locally or make complaints? Does she have local chinese channel or video of this? I dont know.

It's crucial that we need more info, yes. But still, bad treatment is still bad treatment.

China capitalism is terrible actually, there are a lot of corruption too. Hyper competition and fast growth economy have some price to pay and need to reform and many people against it.
