In Los Angeles in the Catholic high schools throughout the county the archdiocese travels to China every year to recruit high school students. The incoming freshmen will be sent with a chaperone. The family will buy a home (for cash) the student will live in that home for the four years of high school. Most will end up at SoCal colleges - mainly UCLA.
For high school they pay top dollar for tuition - most local students will qualify for discounts depending on grades and parent income... but for the Chinese it’s literally pay to play.
I know some Catholic high schools where Chinese makes up half of the student body. The rest of the schools it’s 1/4.
The grossest part, the home purchase. The market is so wacky in the area because the all cash buyer and they aren’t even legal citizens. Try buying a home in China as an American... see how well that works out.
I had worked in University Research Administration for some time managing grants. This is not at all difficult for me to believe. We literally had hundreds of Chinese students working in research labs. I cannot go into any further detail other than that. I just want to say that this claim is extremely probable due to things I've seen and heard.
A third is very hard for me to believe
