I don't think central government actively support these efforts as it would inevitably cause too much public embarrassments and resentments. It's more like the central government set a target for soft-power reasons and local bureaucrats(university principals, provincial level education officials)tried to do whatever it takes to meet established targets for career advancement. Given PRC is not real an attractive location for good quality international students, officials uses whatever means to meet its target.

I have never said that "Chinese government wants female students to sleep with foreigners". That's why I said "but they think it is not enough and They went too far"
They = University

Hohoho whats happening here? japan real face thats always being hidden by anime/kawaii mask that she always wore finally being exposed???
Things must been really bad for foreigners in japan that the criticism came from their master, who supposed to keep quiet when their pets misbehaved
At least in China, no police will randomly interrogates you for being black/foreign, unless you commit crimes that is
You are asking for a level of proof that is unrealistic under current circumstances. Of course official media including Chinese ones could post fake news but they are most authoritative sources we could find. Since all of those cases were politically sensitive to say the least, it's not surprising government officials and media chose to sweep them under the rug without having any follow-on stories. Also there wasn't just presumption of guilt. They were guilty and wrong because they publicly apologized.
I post these examples to support the premise that foreigners do enjoy certain special treatments in mainland. And I think this is problematic phenomenon for PRC as it could further increase foreign worship among its citizens. It also runs contrary to Xi's proclamation that Chinese people has already stood up.
Sorry about the misread. It's already past midnight in my time zone.
Extricating these types of incidents from society will take time, but it is already in progress. A lot of overseas Chinese, and Asians in general have started to look down on many of these foreign countries, and the trend will only pick up as the US / west declines further.
Based on current trends, we might even see a full reversal in our lifetimes
We don't even know local CEO involved was Chinese. No he wasn't taken "hostage" Why did you think Chinese workers kept the US CEO in the factory? Could it be that they didn't have enough faith that Chinese courts or law enforcement to protect low level workers' interests? Given the widespread and unlawfully nature of unpaid overtime under 996 condition, Chinese workers are already having a hard time getting their rightful wages from Chinese bosses, you actually think those unfortunate workers would've trusted local government to protect their interests effectively against foreign/US bosses. They probably learned from previous experiences that they had no other choices so they decided to create a large incident. Remember many Chinese officials blindly follow the concept that there aren't any detail/things too small when it comes to dealing with foreigners (外交无小事).
996 applies to highly paid tech company workers, and 996 wasn't around in 2013. first mention of 996 was in 2016.
he was extrajudicially detained. that is not hostage? was he free to walk out of the building?
Your anecdotal examples are just that. Where I fail to see or understand the complains here is the painting of a picture in which you're alleging that Chinese people's lives in China are no better than what they were back in the colonial era, where Chinese folks are treated worse by their own government and foreigners were treated much better due to the imposition of the foreign powers who had set up shop in China. A ridiculous and thought provoking insult to the government and to the vast overwhelming people back in China that don't feel, see, or interpret the events you have provided as proof of the apparent discrimination by the Chinese from it's own government. It's like what you're suggesting is that what exactly? Dismantle the current government and replaced it with what? Western style democracy some loud but few passionate butthurt gang can run on this emotional charade platform that China ought to impose some kind of laws where Han Chinese reign Supreme and the rest of 56 ethnicities in China play supporting roles to make the Han majority feel good about itself?
And let the PLA interventionist policies kick in by going on expeditionary missions "punishing countries" that mistreated Chinese ethnic people but are nationalities of whatever X,Y,Z countries the supposed discriminations are happening? And for what exactly? To satisfy the emotional need for some kind of revenge and to show the world that what they have been fearing and dreading of China are actually true. And for once China needs to be checked if not outright splintered before it gets too strong? I don't know what song and dance some of the folks here are asking for.
Some of the complaints here are no different from the complaints I have heard from the white folks in Canada and especially in the U.S. where similar complaints have been alleged and made against their own government. In which they have expressed the sentiments that their "white ethic groups" are going through white genocide by being replaced systematically through mass immigration, by being replaced or denied the chance to attend their schools of choice because of quota a.k.a. affirmative action, by being denied well deserved promotions due to "diversity" meaning minorities (blacks, brown, women, Asians) get the spot. The majority of crimes and police killings are made against their group etc..and the government and parties on both sides have been bought and paid for them big bad "JEWS."
No laws, no government are perfect. They are only as good and responsive based on the quality or type of people that are in power. So if there's an existing and growing issues of perceived and worst of all real misapplication of laws against any regular Chinese that must be looked into seriously and if such allegations are found to be systemic then it must change and be rooted out. But if such issue exist based solely on one's perception (feelings and entitlement) and not on hard evidence, then the weight of the law must fall on the accuser equally harsh if not disproportionately harsher because such unfounded complaints do bring social disorder and disunity, a situation that must not be allowed to fester because it can and will lead to internal instability and chaos.
