Chinese Students Advised to Not Return to South Korea

The Korean government is now advocating for Chinese students to not return to South Korea until after the coronavirus fears die down:

Education authorities of South Korea and China agreed to advise their students against returning to school in the other country as part of their cooperation to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, Seoul officials said Friday.

The move comes as the spread of the virus is showing little sign of easing in the two countries after it emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late December.

NOW they say this? After letting in 20,000 Chinese students? It’s already too late. The damage has been done.

Well China sent the sickest ones first…the others that are staying in China are pretty healthy, don’t want them get infected by the Koreans…

China is the 2nd wealthiest Nation on earth now and still spreading the deadliest plagues since the 13th century to the rest of the world, thanks Nixon… so nations should remain closed off.

Nixon averted a nuclear war with Red China over Taiwan, ended Johnson’s Vietnam War, and–in spite of being vaguely antisemitic–sent the supplies Israel needed to survive the Yom Kippur war. He was also set up regarding the Watergate break-in by the CIA and his AG, John Dean…

As much of an illegitimi as he was, He was probably being honest in that “Checkers Speech”…

The headline should read: CHINESE STUDENTS ADVISED TO NOT RETURN TO ANYWHERE.
Mainland Chinese students should stay in their country. If they can build whole hospitals in days, they can build more colleges and universities. Why travel to another country to only self-segregate with your own people, not care about local customs and regulations, not make friends, cheat, lie and steal for their government.

BTW, the reconstructive surgeon who put me back together after the other guys took out what was left of the tumor missed in the first surgery, the scar tissue from the first surgery, and a “margin” that included 1/3 of my lower jaw plus numerous bits of skull, is Chinese. He has only 32 years experience, most in the US, as a post cancer surgery repairman.

This is no time to be racist. We have no idea who has it now. And we won’t know before Summer if it’s a deadly pandemic or just a nasty outbreak like those Cholera and Typhoid epidemics of the 19th Century.

I should have said that in 2016 he had only 32 years experience. He’s still practicing.
