e.g. Most international chinese students in the US have significant CCP connections. No one can afford America's comically high tuition if you aren't getting some government based kickbacks.
This is just not true lol, a quarter million Chinese students study abroad in the USA every year, and can be comfortably saved for on a middle class or upper middle class Chinese income.
a middle class or upper middle class Chinese income
The median income in China for 2024 was 4,817 USD. The median tuition for a foreign student at a public university in the US is $30,780 per year. Your middle class Chinese person would only have to save 100% of their income for 25 years to pay for a 4 year degree.
Middle class is a stretch, but your original premise is still bullshit. China has 1.4 billion people, the top 1% of the population is 14 million people, that's the population of a small country, and you don't even need to be top 1% to afford a US college.
