PRC student cannot study in Taiwan

mr_boogie,

And I thought you loved Taiwan, how can you have such a low view of the institutions of higher learning here.

Because the system is bad. Ask 100 students to come up with their own thoughts about one matter and you’ll see how bad it is.

And my point is, why should Taiwan drop their standard to China’s level?

[quote=“zeugmite”]Laughable. You obviously know nothing about Qinghua students. There is a little less emphasis on hands-on training than at large resourceful Western universities, but given the caliber of the students, at the end of the day all of them will be running circles around your Scandinavian asses and whooping them.[/quote] My wife, who is a university teacher here in Taiwan, was invited to submit a paper to Beijing University for a conference being held there. She submitted the paper but it was never published. However, another paper with the EXACT same content but shuffled around somewhat was published under the name of a Beijing University professor. Some calls to the university and demanding explanations resulted in, “Really? We’ll definitely look into this…”. And that’s as far as it ever got. So, who is teaching these students that will run cirlces around and whoop ass on the Scandinavian - and presumably all Western - students?? While things in Taiwan certainly aren’t perfect at least people are well aware of the concept of intellectual property.

they know what copyright is… don’t worry… they copy it right…

The Japanese and Koreans did it not so long time ago. So were my fellow Taiwanese. The Chinese with their increasing trade surplus will emulate the trend. They are all depicted as a success story worthy to be copied. Yes they copy it right.

there is some difference though…

Japanese copied, yes, in the first years, then they found out the flaws of everything and improved them. Now, they have some of the best stuff.

Korean copied, yes, in the first years, then they found out that Chinese where copying so they invested in getting their own stuff. Now, they have some of the best stuff.

Taiwanese copied, yes, in the first years, then they went to China because copying things in Taiwan is not as easy as in China.

Chinese learned from the Taiwanese and copied everything the Taiwanese where doing.

So there is still a gist of truth that everybody copied from somebody. It’s just too unpleasant to blame just the Chinese when in the same pattern, every human growing up from toddler to adult behave similarly irregardless of their color, race or religion. In fact sympathy should go to the Chinese for being a late comer. Then who talk about copyright?

Anyway cheers to the Taiwanese that there is still something that can be copied from them now. Predictably the time will arrive when we will copy from the Chinese in reverse. Bet on that to come true.

I wonder when the Chinese are going to start suing the west for royalties on gunpowder and other discoveries… :laughing:

sorry, off the topic, is this a potugese girl?
yummy

no, by the look at the building outside I would say it is a US…

ac, they have court on WTO for it, so I guess they can put it there. They should know very well the address…

When they show their patents for gunpowder and their other discoveries.

And realize that under any patent law that its long long expired.

But once they are influential enough they could invent patent laws in their favor. Like Disney and their influence to change patent laws in their favor.

You approach the discussion as if laws were meant to be fair, how odd indeed.

Around the time the west starts with suing China for royalties for eyeglasses, cars, computers, railroads, modern medicine, the internet, socialism and other inventions, the chinese have been happy adopting since the 1400’s.

Don’t be silly the Chinese invented all that stuff…Every educated person knows the Chinese invented everything. :laughing:

Except for humor, that is. :smiley:
