The saying that investing in education cannot be taken away by theft, scam, sanctions and banning is very true. All other material possessions that money can buy can be lost in a jiffy, just like the US$300 billion that Russia had in its reserves. And even the gold in Fort Knox is now under speculation about its existence and status.
China must use its massive reserves and not keep them invested in USA treasuries and USA and Western assets. Those are very risky investments, not as safe as being touted in the face of the USA's agenda to put China down.
China already saw the value of investing in education long ago, in fact learning is a trait that the Chinese value very much. That is why China invested heavily, first in sending Chinese to study in overseas universities, and now building universities like no other. The BBC, the propaganda arm of the UK, even said that China has been building the equivalent of a university in China every week. This is part of a silent revolution that China is undergoing as more foreign students are flocking to China to take advantage of the cheap and high value education standards that China is building up. The average cost of fees studying in a Chinese university as disclosed by Chinese citizens is US$2,000 per year. This is atrocious compared to the hundreds of thousands that even USA citizens have to pay studying in the USA to graduate. Does that make sense that foreign students from South America, Africa and Middle East are flocking to study in China? With the rise of AI and DeepSeek and others, the whole world now realizes the standard of Chinese universities being able to turn out top-notched students that outperforms those educated in the West. People are asking, what else is being hidden by the Chinese that has not yet been revealed to the world.

The Chinese had long understand the value of education and invested much in the past, perhaps centuries ago. We all know that during the rule of the dynasties in China, scholars were inducted into the Imperial Government through examinations to select them, not just picking them up from thin air. And a place in the ruling class was a much sought after priority for parents and those scholars, who studied hard for the examination. Rich or poor they get the same opportunity to serve the country.
Yes, education is a trait that the ancient Chinese cherished, and later generations still cherishes a good education today. In the past, Chinese parents were even sending their children to study in good schools overseas, even to Singapore schools. And you know what I found out. through experience. how good those Chinese students really were? A Chinese student from China, unable to speak or write good English, joined a Secondary Class that I was in, and within a few months, learned English and did so well that we were really amazed. This is the kind of talent that China has and is nurturing, from kindergarten stage today.
China is building new universities to keep up with demand, while universities in the West are suffering financial problems. With Chinese universities rising in stature and producing outstanding scientists and engineers that are contributing to the 'factory of the world', the world can see the reality of what an education in China can do for them as well and are sending students over to China instead of the West. Moreover, the cost of a university education in China is way less costly than an education in any of the Anglo-Saxon countries. I would say that for parents in poorer countries, there is more bang for the buck to send their children to have a university education in China than in the West.
Suffice to say, China is even trying to eat the breakfast, lunch and dinner of Western universities, which the West will one day claim that China has overcapacity in education as well and must cut back, LOL.
Sinkieland G also invested heavily in education by providing million dollars worth of scholarship But for Foreigner..hahaha
