Zhang Chunzi, a 25-year-old who works at a foreign trade company in Hangzhou, still has 150,000 yuan of loans outstanding from a dozen platforms including Ant Group Co.â(TM)s Jiebei service.

Sound familiar? Yea this article is 2 years old. Even the official gov’t propaganda isn’t talking about forgiveness though – only deferred payments, which are probably lies like everything else they say.

TFA might be paid for by the CCP. What better way to make your rivals complacent than to make them think you can’t compete with them?
It’s also China. The home of industrial espionage and the country that can’t seem to make any innovations on their own – just steal them. [nytimes.com]
Anyone else remember the Capacitor Plague of the early 2000s? Literally the result of Chinese Industrial Espionage? [theguardian.com]
I worked for a semiconductor design firm back in the nineties and our designs were being stolen by the Chinese then – they had a whole industry centered around delidding ICs and studying them with advanced microscopy. Turns out copying and designing are separate skills…

Oh yeah, I had some of those nasty Dells. You’d pop open the case, and those Rubycon caps would have swelled tops, and you knew they were a time bomb waiting to go off. Never had a fire, but it did create a lot of e-waste.
The concept of theft instead of innovation has been tried before, and it generally fails. If not immediately like the secret capacitor sauce, after some years.

USA universities are profit driven. Show profit = success. Education is absolutely non-necessary. In fact, education may be a hinderance, depending on how prominent the athletic programs are.

Education, i.e., the acquisition of knowledge, is absolutely necessary. University degrees may or may not be necessary, depending on the specific job. Professors and teachers need degrees to qualify for a job. Lawyers need law degrees, and doctors need medical degrees (for the most part). Many other jobs require either a degree or experience, so a degree is easier to obtain for young people.
One big part of getting a college degree is demonstrating the ability to run the college gauntlet, both educationa

Uh, because the parent claimed, “Education is absolutely non-necessary.” My direct response is that education is obviously sometimes absolutely necessary and sometimes not necessary. My response is clearly not only relevant but a direct, on-point response to the parent.

Sometimes it is difficult to determe if something is satire… which usually means it’s decent satire.
So forgive me if I’ve missed the joke but if profit was all that mattered, the various certificate mills would be the worlds best universities, especially in developing countries where people just buy their degrees/certificates. Having worked in higher education, it’s not so much profitability (universities, even in Europe need to make a euro to survive) but rather employability that matters to students
And whatabout them other things????
Universities Waste Millions, Fail To Make Real Use of Research.

Their paper output and patent output has been amazing, looks like it is all not so useful.

So, it’s a study over *two whole years*. And the total “waste” they found is all of $16M! Wow, what a waste! $16 million! There are individual University labs in the US that waste more than that on lunches for meetings, I think!
