Why did Americans build Tsinghua?
Tsinghua University, formerly known as Tsinghua School, was founded in 19 1 1. It used to be a preparatory school for studying in the United States, which was returned by the United States and partially established in boxer indemnity.

But in fact, boxer indemnity's so-called "restitution" is not the discovery of American kindness. That's because when the reparations were settled, the United States took more reparations than its due share, and other countries and the Qing government disagreed, but the United States did not agree to return them. Therefore, it is proposed to build Tsinghua University and use this money as the funds for Tsinghua University and students to study in the United States.

The establishment of Tsinghua University does have a cultural purpose. To put it more seriously, it is also a kind of cultural aggression. Many selected children under the age of 10 were sent to study in the United States, hoping to cultivate pro-American high-end talents (in fact, these people did become top talents in various fields in China during the Republic of China). It should be said that this move by the United States and the West is very clever. With China's own money, he tried to cultivate elites with western thinking.

However, it may not be appropriate to say "stupid". After all, I learned the real knowledge of western natural science, and as a result, I didn't teach my students to be slaves in the United States. Many people who went to study in the United States from Tsinghua eventually returned to China with enthusiasm to participate in national construction.
