Jiang uses student and language patterns to argue that China-Russia ties are top-down and government-mandated, whereas U.S.-China ties are bottom-up because ordinary Chinese people still choose American study and social pathways over Russian ones.
The age of globalization is over, so the path of Chinese students learning English, studying in America, returning home, and getting good jobs is over.
Chinese students are highly motivated by grades and degrees, but to thrive in the future they must learn passion, intrinsic motivation, and love of learning for itself.
