During Xi's recent visit to Washington, he told the USA that China is open to welcoming 100,000 USA students to study in China. That has created immediately a tsunami of fear among USA leaders and the MSM has already started spreading propaganda about indoctrination and brainwashing if such students were allowed to go to China to study. Are USA students so weak minded and cannot think for themselves what is right and what is wrong and need its leaders to worry for them for life? Chinese students have been studying in USA universities for decades, most staying behind to work in USA, benefiting its industries and university research programs. But the tide is turning and Chinese students mostly prefer to return to China after graduation without the fear of racism and that can now afford them a better future in research and innovation. rather than risk being targeted as spies and getting prosecuted. The number of Chinese students studying in USA has fallen over the years and most Universities have lost much revenue catering to such students from China. More than the fees are the supporting businesses catering to such students.
Xi's invitation has ignited a genuine fear among the USA universities, most of all if USA students flock to China to get a very affordable but not inferior education in China. The other bigger fear of the USA Government is that USA students in China are going to see the real China as opposed to the fabricated news about China over the decades. This is going to open up a can of worms, if younger USA people are able to see the good life in China, the infrastructures, the cheap cost of living, the innovation in the universities and whether Chinese citizens are living in stifled conditions.
Why need to go to the USA to study, paying an arm and a leg when universities in China can provide a cheaper education of equal caliber? On top of that, Chinese entities now favor graduates from Chinese universities, while returning students from USA are no more the preferred choice.
