> China can also limit the number of Chinese students studying in the US.

Is the party somehow disgruntled about this too? The proposed retaliations read like a wish list.

Arguably it's a form of brain drain. The US imports a lot of graduate students who got a subsidized undergrad for cheap (or free!) at public universities in their home country.

I should know, I was one of them, and now I'm working and paying taxes in the US. Arguably a net loss to my home country :-P
