[THREAD] Chinese students are stranded in the US. Many tried booking a half dozen flights at one go. Others waited, noses pressed to their phones as the price of airfare jumped. A few lucky ones hopped on a private jet.https://nyti.ms/34bbSWF
Distraught parents of Chinese students stuck in NY publicly petitioned the gov't. “We have always firmly believed that a Chinese passport can take you to more places, and in an emergency, can take you home," they wrote. That belief has been tested as China has shut its borders
Fear, politics and the competing priorities of the Chinese government stand in the way. So while students wait it out, they also contend with distraught parents who demand documentary photos well-stocked fridges and yoga mat selfies
Penny Pei's parents worry if she's lonely. Does she eat enough? “I really appreciate their concern, but it gets a bit much.” For Rainey Jin, getting back to China was an ordeal. “We are so young, but we have to face the difficulty ourselves because our family is not around us.”
The 1.4 million students overseas pose a challenge to the Communist Party. They are "the most vulnerable group to the impact of the epidemic and possible wave of anti-China sentiment. They still need to have confidence in the country.” w/ @nytmayhttps://nyti.ms/34bbSWF
