@cosmicpinot I'm not sure we have an answer, but we are observing many important trends.

If you don't already follow him, @ericfish85 is one of the best commentators on policies re Chinese students and researchers in the US. Here is his latest from SupChina

supchina.com/2020/05/12/end… @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.

A new piece from me that applies ideas from complexity theory to the cascading health, economic & social effects of #COVID19.

I think we need to think about economic globalisation as involving great benefits but also creating systemic risks that we need to better address This piece works really nicely with the work by @ANewman_forward and @choermoraes about the vulnerabilities that the coronavirus has shown about our deeply interdependent supply chains and "just-in-time" approaches to manufacturing.

I spent yesterday writing for my book on #WinnersLosers w/ @nicolas_lamp about the coronavirus and different ways it implicates debates about economic globalisation.

I think it's going to become one of the touchstones of this debates. It can be read in so many different ways-1 There is the #geoeconomic angle which emphasises the problems of concentrated economic interdependence eg Australian higher education reliance on Chinese students - in some cases 70%+ come from China and make up almost a quarter of university budgets.

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
