True, but this NYT article was in no small part about Chinese-centered networks displacing US-centered ones in business and education. E.g., a very sophisticated (and rather glamorous too, by the accompanying pic) young Singapore development official who got her MBA in China rather than going to the US. Ok, the biz school program was a joint venture with MIT, but the point was that the Chinese connections were thought to be very important.
