Johnny is right, it's all beneficial to us economically but not socially, and we have chosen the economic route. We want cheaper products.

If the University cannot get the 3x money from Chinese exchange students, they'll just raise normal tuition. Plus Chinese put money in the banks to keep them stable. Also they raise the price of our houses, which is good if we own a house, not so good if we don't. For decades now, we have chosen the $500 75" tv over human rights. There's no turning back.

In Canada, we don't have the polarizing political fight like in the States. We don't view Chinese students or the University of Calgary as liberal issues that will bring down the world. I do not understand why Harvard had to declare this early that all classes be done online, without considering that this Trump government would send visa students home. I think Harvard tried to make a statement and got counter punched in the gut. You can easily run 50/50 classes with social distancing and masks, which is what U of C, and most other universities are going to do. Even if 1 out of 5 of the international students classes were on site, ICE cannot revoke their visa.
