i realize i am at risk of a rant…she left by driving across the border to canada, then flying out from there. everything said she was a Chinese national. if she was attending the UW, that is common, but a lot of times those individuals are also US citizens. What happens is years before the parents come over on a visitation visa, while the mom is late term pregnant, then they have the baby here. the baby is then also a u.s. citizen. then they go back to china, fast forward 18 years and the kid pumpkins at a university as a new student. the reason it is so desirable is that they 1) do not have to pay out of country tuition which is 3x the normal rate. 2) if the parents are well connected, as they typically are in those cases, they also can buy US assets in the child’s name and those assets can’t be repatriated back to china. 3) it is foot in the door for the parents to retire to the U.S. and escape the ccp. it is just another of the many scams on the U.S. done by people from other countries where the US loses. not to mention, the driving culture in china is not compatible w the west. if you haven’t been there you really don’t understand how different the driving culture is. if you have you know what I am taking about and the blatant disregard for the rules of the road and safety of others is really at the bottom of their list. it is a very self centered driving culture with horrific accidents regularly.
i just feel if you go to live in another country it is incumbent upon you to try to appreciate/respect the culture of that other country. otherwise, don’t go there.
Copy all..wow interesting read...yes didn't know all of that. Good to know and research before one goes abroad. Agree much like we are expected to obey the rules of the road and such when abroad and respect the culture so should visitors to the US. Drive on the right side of the road, obey traffic signs, have rental insurance, etc. etc. I remember before going to Germany the first time while deployed on Active Duty we even were given pamphlets on driving in Europe and links on the internet to the German Authobhan from AAA and USO that helped a whole lot so that I wasn't freaked out the first time an Audi A3 hatch blew past me in the left lane doing 100mph + and blinking his lights at me....quickly learned the left lane was NOT for cruising and also what Ausfart mean!
