As a long-term resident of Liverpool and a staff member of the university, I wouldn¡¯t say that the citizens of Liverpool voted to stay in the European Union because of their fear of losing international students (¡°Brexit cloud looms over sunny Liverpool¡±, 15 September). That feels like a fumbling stretch that neglects to acknowledge the hundreds of millions of pounds that the EU directly contributed to the development of the city¡¯s economy and infrastructure. EU money transformed Liverpool into a place where people actually want to live, work and study. The locals know this, even if they¡¯ve never clapped eyes on a Chinese student from Xi¡¯an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in their lives.
