I disagree.

From my point of view University should be entirely about learning academic material for the sake of self improvement. To become a more enlightened and educated individual.

Having a "Technical Interview" course isn't about furthering student's knowledge, but about furthering student's future finical gains. I believe strongly that any improvement of a student's position in the labor market should be a secondary effect, and not a primary concern, of a University.

I think that if Universities start competing on student's success in the labor market post graduation then the centuries long tradition of improving student's knowledge will suffer.

China has a long and established history of replacing governments that are unfair to their people. It's just, why would you overthrow a government bringing in so much economic growth. Once that growth slows down their government will get away with less civil rights violations.

Still worth reading.

I think the key for wireless charging is a not-metal back. Glass or plastic would both work.

This is the first three ion nuclear fusion experiment I've seen. Have I missed a previous one?
