yes they will advertise and some of these students will become future professors in North American Universities. so the size of faculty will be there. the point is it is still destination of choice just like other Western Countries. Not even Japan can compete with it despite it being short flight distance. size of international student body shows the attractiveness of the country and economic strength as some will get scholarships and they will need place to stay close to the place of education. those things will need to be maintained as some places can have extreme temperatures.

Okay, I see what you are trying to say.

From my perspective, no one really thinks like that anymore.

Higher education is first and foremost a business, and a very expensive business.

Without those Asian students in Canadian universities, some of them will be closing their doors. Or cutting back on programs offered.

It is no secret that those Chinese students coming to Canada, more or less buying their degree. If the parents got the money, and if they could not get into a Chinese university, no problem, they accept money for a degree in America and Canada.

Regardless of how we feel about that, we surely know what that is.

This is a business transaction.

Of course, Canada, United States, England, and Australia, would be the first choice to make this deal, because they are the ones who advertise the most aggressively for it. For that business.

One other thing about the Anglo countries, it is perceived they are less racist than some other European countries. That is why Chinese like coming to Canada.

Some days I can leave the house and not speak a word of English. Imagine the Chinese student here in Toronto. They live the exact same Chinese life as they would back in China. Eat Chinese food everyday. All their friends are Chinese. They will only speak Cantonese or Mandarin. It is kind of obvious the great majority here just buying their degrees.

my point is slightly different. I am saying that due to this China and US issues. ASEAN countries taking middle ground will get much more wealth and due to that increase in wealth they are likely to send more of there human capital towards West. and i am sure India and ASEAN trade will also increase that will feed to that loop.

Australia is proud to be the destination of choice for Indonesian university students studying overseas. In fact, we host around a quarter of all Indonesian university students studying abroad.

Humanity will never become an interstellar species. An offshoot might, but humans in the current form never will.

Probably depends on one's definition of offshoot. Extraterrestial environments are plain not friendly to the human body, so outside of perfectly conditioned environments the most viable option would be augmentation, be that genetic or cybernetic (though I would definitely lean towards the latter). What or whoever starts venturing among the stars would likely at minimum be some variety of heavily augmented cyborg if not some kind of digital being.

Washington is working to ensure Moscow helps pay for “all that it has broken,” the high-ranking State Department official has said.

I don't want to sound arrogant, but I don't know a single Chinese person who actually cares about the Vietnamese hating them. Also, there is a lot separating Vietnamese people from Southern Chinese people. They are not indistinguishable at all.

To put you into perspective, Vietnamese actually hate everyone, they hate Thais, Loatians and etc

Alegre has earned support for his campaign promise to consider diplomatically recognizing China instead of Taiwan. Allegiance to Taiwan has long been foreign-policy orthodoxy in Paraguay—a result of the Colorado Party’s reflexive

this position has earned the country with the United States. Today, Paraguay is the last South American country to maintain full diplomatic relations with Taipei.

But some think Paraguay’s pro-Taiwan conviction could be waning. The costs of maintaining ties with Taiwan grew more visible during the COVID-19 pandemic, when China prioritized friendly countries for vaccine deliveries amid an international scramble for jabs. “Many [of Paraguay’s] neighboring countries received Chinese vaccines and were much more advanced in their vaccination programs,” political analyst Julieta Heduvan told Foreign Policy.

well besides selling fruit which other ASEAN nations already have, the saddest thing would be human trafficking.
