Or you could be aware that there’s massive strategic and cultural advantage to having foreign students coming to learn in your country. You get to sell them on your culture, language, model of working. If you believe in a nationalist competition between countries you what their best people to come study, work, and research in your country. You win the talent war.

This wasn’t my experience in the physics dept I was in. They all spoke Chinese and thus all obviously stuck together. The vast majority left. The universities benefit by getting extra money. I didn’t see the other benefits you describe. We will be just fine without educating wealthy Chinese who simply want to return home
