It could be argued that if the news needs to introduce you as "an elite US school", you aren't really an elite school. That's an odd conclusion to draw about MIT though. Who's the target audience here? MIT really is internationally known.

Well when they copy and outcompete all your industries, then I think you’d notice some consequences.
The US has been caught doing industrial espionage as well, more of a pest or cholera situation here.

In terms of prestige? Harvard. In terms of academic excellence? Cal Tech.
Found the Caltech student! Jokes aside, why not include MIT or UChicago? The former is arguably a bigger Caltech, and the latter is extremely rigorous, even if not focused on engineering.
...How many schools do you think can fit in the #1 spot?

Elite != Culturally recognized Every American knows Harvard, many wouldn't know Cal Tech or MIT.
I'm going to call bullshit on Americans not knowing MIT. It's TV/movie shorthand for someone being a tech genius, same way Harvard is shorthand for being a top lawyer/politician/writer. "Top of his class at MIT"

Everyone in the West knows MIT. That's a clue the Reuters headline target audience is in the East.

#50I wonder if US carriers can start discouraging consumers from using Huawei, ZTE cellphones. They know the IMEI numbers.
Do you really want, hypothetically, a phone maker, say Apple, to get into a sweetheart deal with AT&T and make phone service on non Apple IMEIs unreliable? Or for AT&T to target certain political, religious groups ....
