BEIJING (Bloomberg): Harrow, the 450-year-old British boarding school that produced seven prime British ministers including Winston Churchill, is dropping its British name in China as the country tightens controls on international schools. Harrow Beijing will change the name of its bilingual school to Lide after the Chinese government last year banned schools with Chinese students from using foreign names and words like "global” or "international” in their titles. "This is not irregular and does not reflect a specific change in the school’s policy,” said Jennifer Cooper, Head of Brand for Harrow in the UK, adding that the name change applied to only one part of Harrow Beijing. The Harrow International School in Beijing, which accepts foreign passport-holders and caters mainly to expatriates, will be unaffected. Harrow entered mainland China with much fanfare in 2020, but the operating environment has changed since then. Even before Covid lockdowns brought cities like Shanghai … [Read more...] about Harrow School is dropping its British name in China

I t’s just before midnight on a rainy autumn Friday. Paul Chou and his entourage dodge puddles on the runway of the Teterboro Airport in New Jersey as they board a Gulfstream private jet bound for Las Vegas. The flight attendant cracks open a bottle of champagne and with a nod welcomes the passengers aboard. The girls disappear into the back and emerge minutes later wearing sequined cocktail dresses and feather boas.
