Chinese professors in American universities give scholarships funded by American taxpayers to Chinese students who came straight from China, whose parents had never paid taxes to the IRS. These Chinese students get to attend American universities and graduate for free. US scholarships should only be given to students who are US citizens.

Can't we all just get along? I have Mainland Chinese friends. We all dream of a time when our countries stop the militarization and military threats. Governments on both sides do not represent their citizens!
