Its a funny thing, anybody who's a resident of California would know the wave of Chinese that arrived around the 2000-2015 timeframe, mostly consisted of two types. 1. Millionaires who needed a place to park their money. 2. Educated professionals starting families and boiling their entire life in the West down to one and only one purpose, getting their kids into an Ivy League school. I wonder how the latter feels now with all of Trump's assaults on education that their bet has essentially gone bust?
Its not something you can fix with a new administration. Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s was the place to study math and science, not just in Europe but the whole world. After a series of unfortunate decisions made by their political leaders, today German universities are mostly just good enough technical colleges, while the mantle of true higher education passed onto the Anglosphere and Switzerland. Imagine removing yourself from your homeland to an unfamiliar climate, for the sake of your child's education, and all that awaits their hardwork, is a just good enough technical college.
