@cosmicpinot @ericfish85 The US visa restrictions fit within a much broader sweep of measures re #geoeducation including cutting down on research collaborations, prosecuting Thousand Talents people who didn't declare, butting back on optional training extensions, looking more seriously re CIs etc.
@cosmicpinot @ericfish85 And these within the broader swathe of #geoeconomic measures like export controls, restrictions on Chinese inward investments (CFIUS), national security trade exemptions etc. They all suggest a strong movement toward some level of technological decoupling, esp re ICT, quantum etc
1 - I'm back from 2 weeks in China. Lots of inputs and thoughts to metabolise for my work/writing.
Originally went bc I was giving one of the courses on the Xiamen Academy of International Law, styled as the Chinese/Asian version of the Hague Academy of International Law.

2 - I'm interested by the rise of China as an educational receiving state, not just sending state. Interesting to see about 30-40% of my students were foreign and almost all were from the developing world - India, Bangladesh, Ghana, Solomon Islands etc. Relevant re #geoeducation
3 - Also gave a series of talks in Beijing, including on "Is Int Law Int?" at PKU (thanks to Yifeng Chen), one on "Geoeconomics" at Renmin (thanks to Yang Liu) and one on "ISDS reform" at the Chinese Council for the Promotion of International Trade (thanks to Sienho Ye).
