How to make Chicken Lo Mein -Souped Up Recipes (and a panel on Chinese students)
And an interesting panel discussion on Chinese students
This week I offer something both light and something heavy. First, a cooking video, then an excellent but very long panel discussion on Chinese students and persecution of Chinese students under the Trump regime featuring experts in the field. I shared the academic video recently, but it’s so good that I am sharing it again.
As for the quick and easy Lo Mein video. In the last week, I made this twice and put most of it in the freezer. Please remember, the recipe and instructions are just guidelines and suggestions and should be treated as such.
For instance, if you look in the freezer and ask yourself “why did I buy this package of frozen fish tofu two months ago? Isn’t it time to throw it in?” well, then do so.
While I always enjoy this YouTube channel, honestly, I suspect there are many equally good Lo Mean recipes on the web that would be just as good.
Enjoy the cooking and eating please!

Very long but very informative and there is no obligation or need to watch the full thing.

An Online Teach-In on Visa Revocations and What it Means for Chinese Students and the U.S.
Featuring: Eileen Chow, Duke University; Gabriel “Jack” Chin, UC Davis; Kaiser Kuo, Sinica Podcast; Mae Ngai, Columbia University; Thomas Kellogg, Georgetown Law; Peter Hessler, The New Yorker; Yangyang Cheng, Yale University. Moderator: Michael Berry, UCLA Center for Chinese Studies
On May 28, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that the Department of State would begin “aggressively” revoking visas of Chinese students in the United States. In this time, when so many of our students are faced with uncertainty, fear, and frustration, the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies is bringing together a panel of experts to address such questions as: How these recent policies fit into a long history of anti-Chinese racism in the United States, from the Chinese Exclusion Act to the wave of anti-Chinese violence during COVID-19? How should universities be responding to this assault on their international students? And what actions can our international students take to educate and protect themselves?
