Are we supposed to generalize your third-hand anecdote about one Chinese PhD student to all Chinese PhD students?

> Chinese PhD types can 'buy' their way into labs. They have so much money no one wants to turn them away.

The way it works in the US is that labs pay the PhD students, not the other way around. I have never heard of a student paying the lab, ever.

I guess if you have an extremely low IQ you can. Why even bother with such a question? To attack the story? You dont like the story so you throw dumb questions at it to tear it down.
