1. Arranging ‘Girlfriends’: Shandong’s Study Buddy System Sparks Outrage Online
One extreme case in which 25 Chinese students attended to the needs of one single exchange student stirred discussions online. The graduate student from Zimbabwe, who did not speak Chinese, was admitted to the hospital for 25 days for a broken leg and the university had arranged one volunteering student to come to the hospital every day.
2. Lenient Laws? Foreign Student Traffic Police Incident
Another incident sparking controversy occurred on July 9 in the city of Fuzhou, where an international student from the Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University was caught breaking traffic rules on his electric scooter – he was carrying another individual. (foid)
When the traffic police stopped the man, he resisted with violence and tried to push the officer out of his way. Yet, despite his apparent aggressive behavior, the man reportedly was only penalized for his traffic offense and did not face any other legal punishments.
3. Unequal Standards: Dorm Disparity
Dorm disparity between Chinese and foreign students has been a topic of discussion for some time. In 2018, a short movie went viral on Chinese social media exposing the big differences between the dorm conditions of Chinese students and of foreigners studying in China, causing controversy online. Amidst all recent discussions on foreign students in China, the dorm discussion has also flared up again. On July 19, one Chinese netizen noted that the Shandong Agriculture University was refurbishing its guesthouse facilities, where the foreign students live, while photos showed that the Chinese dorms are in abominable conditions.

“Why can’t they live together with Chinese students?” many commenters wonder: “Are Chinese students of a lower rank?”
BONUS:
University Swimming Pool ‘Only for Foreigners’ While more and more people are now calling for more equal standards between Chinese and foreign dormitories, “Capital Normal University discriminates against Chinese” is the statement that is now making its rounds on Chinese social media – further heightening discussions on unequal dorm situations. On July 17, one netizen posted photos of the regulations at the swimming pool of the Capital Normal University in Beijing.
