      Is it only for US people?

      nope, anyone can apply. I don’t even think you have to go through an embassy, I think it’s just an application you fill out online. also from what I’ve read, it’s easier for non-Chinese applicants to get into some of their best universities. schools like Tsinghua are stacked, you can look up the faculty and there’s people from Harvard, MIT, Stanford, big tech companies, etc.

          hahaha I’m in my late 20s and sorta feel like I’m getting there.

          my dilemma is whether I should go to China or some country in western Europe. China would be way more fun and life-changing, but it’ll be harder to find work there and from what I understand, work/life balance isn’t great, people work long hours, not much vacation, etc… Europe would be boring, but much more comfortable I think. no idea what to do, I’m having the hardest time deciding.

            Europe might have been more fun before they were dragged through the mud of the Russian-Ukraine conflict and taken to the cleaners by USA regarding their oil and deindustrialization. Europe is really not looking too great in the coming decades. With their resources drained, how long can they keep their work/life balance and comforts? There will be more and more austerity measures, fewer social services, and fewer jobs.

              that’s definitely true, fascism seems on the rise in every country you look at in Europe. awful inflation, recession, energy issues. doesn’t seem like the best place to be.
