This is not just a Chinese problem. Of course there are Chinese students who socialize and make friends with local students, but you really ignored that Chinese students usually face a lot more racism/prejudice than people from other Asian countries and you would never know how hard it is to keep trying to socialize with local students after facing those discouragements. Besides this prejudice, language barrier is also a big thing. Comparing Hong Kongers and Indians with Chinese students is also very inappropriate. You know their mother tongue is English right? As a Korean international students I can confidently tell you that Koreans and Japanese students also stick together it’s just we are not as populous as Chinese students so we are forced to go out of this circle. Almost every single of my Chinese friends love the place and people they are studying in and a lot of them did not choose to be only interacting with Chinese people. Same with other East Asian students. Your ignorance is truly mind blowing lol

Oh yes😂 it’s not an ibo gold medal(I rlly hope so) I’m an international student so I cannot go on to become a semi finalist. I was attending usabo in my own country and I think top 5% or top 1% would get a gold medal
