I Mr. Chee compared the ! educational advantages in China to those offered in the United Slates, and an swered questions. Mr. Chee, a student at Southern Oregon college, said that in his opinion there are quite a few people in the United States to be helped with money rather than send ing aid abroad to foreign countries.
