Do you all have any context into how good or bad the undergrad programs at top tier universities in China are, ie Tsinghua, Peking, or Fudan? All of the Chinese immigrants who do end up working in the US always originally went there.

PS: I would not underestimate the Taiwanese elite in management ability, education, and being able to actually do business. The ones who deal with China can sometimes be shitheads but as a whole Taiwan is not as bad as Mainland China in education and stuff.

Common thing for people who are bilingual. I do this in Chinese with my parents/family. The language is interchangeable and it's just a accidental reaction to people around you (ie trying to fit in). It's probably subconscious.

Even Taiwanese public schools, up to and including NTU are better than their mainland counterparts.

Unfortunately, Taiwan has three problems going for it:

(1) rote memorization
(2) island country = a bit lazier
(3) it continues to be influenced by mainland China

In any case, many educated Taiwanese very much understand the role of American education and issues with the Asian system of learning, compared to mainland China.
