00:00I'm quite optimistic to a two-year-old school to open the door for the transit and at the same
00:23time I think not just HUST but the global academy like all the university may have to stay strong
00:31together because we need to tell others what we are thinking about
00:37so I think now the US is becoming very is becoming less welcoming towards international students
00:59seeing what has happened at at Harvard and also other universities regarding the protests and
01:05people getting arrested so I think China has been more welcoming in that regards towards
01:11international students like they gave me a full scholarship and so in that sense I
01:15think it's kind of shifting more towards China
01:17in times of need like this it is really important you know being a member of the academic community I
01:41think you know we're in this together essentially you know we are a global commit community and I
01:48think in times like this it's important that we do step up I think we we many of us you know follow
01:54very similar hold very similar values and so this is a chance for us we feel that we can open up our
02:02our resources to help these students in need so that they can continue their academic journey
02:14and so we've been providing individualized counseling and so on for these students and it came to a point
02:21where we felt that we needed to issue a public statement to really reaffirm our commitment to be an open academic
02:31haven for those students who filed felt that their academic studies were unable to maybe proceed or
02:39perhaps they felt that it could not continue as they planned
02:43we do believe that good universities will continue to strive for things like academic excellence innovation collaboration but I think what we do see of course is that there may be the rise of some other academic talent hubs coming up away from the
03:13traditional sort of countries or sectors and of course I think now for a lot of international students one of the things that perhaps is bearing on their decision when they choose a institution is things like stability so in addition to academic reputation
