i'd like to ask about your experience as a grad student in japan, if i may. i'm interested in doing my grad studies in japan as well.

That sucks doesn't it. Doesn't help the fact that many corporations in America are looking towards the Chinese as a huge market to tap.

China may be doing all that crap, but if the U.S. were serious, well, they would put the money aside rather than see the $$$ that the millions upon millions of potential chinese customers would bring.

It sucks.
