Thank you for your continued boldness and reminding us of the privilege and understated rules of engagement as guests as well as hosts.
Being a Californian, I am fully aware of the broad number of foreigners, including Chinese foreign students attending the UC universities. I have always found it extremely distasteful when they or any "guests" come and criticize or worse(unfortunately very common) expect to be privileged with all the amenities that local Californians have fought and paid into. Aside from being deeply offended by their demands and attitude(I considered it theft), I have witnessed my entire life how they continue that mentality of entitlement throughout their life here and teach it to their children and demand that their families members and community act in the same manner. I have yet to see them treat and scold their own home country in the same way!
Foreign students have also become a cash cow for American universities, including public institutions. A few years ago, there were 3,000 students from China at the local UC. The universities like having them because they Chinese government pays for the full ride. Californians and other Americans get a discount. I have read that there are 300,000 Chinese students at American universities. I don't see how it is in the interests of the American people to educate students from a hostile foreign police state in preference to Americans
