Documentary aims to break stereotypes

A grassroots campaign is underway in the United States to fight the stereotype that all Chinese students who come to the US are spoiled children from rich families wanting to buy fancy degrees. China is now the largest overseas source for the higher education market in the US.

With English subtitles, an hourlong documentary called simply US aims to recast the image of Chinese students in the US and has already attracted more than 6 million views since it was uploaded online on Nov 23.

It's the work of a group of Chinese youths who studied in the US over the past two years.
