Zhang Ni

Zhang Ni is a recent journalism graduate from Columbia University in New York. At 24 years old, she expressed her shock at the changing attitudes in China towards overseas-educated individuals, particularly in light of rising suspicions regarding foreign influences. Having grown up in an environment that encouraged engagement with the international community, she now observes a shift where many Chinese companies are hesitant to hire those with foreign degrees. This reflects a broader trend of increasing nationalism and wariness of foreign ties amid the growing tensions between the US and China.
