China has students sent here to learn in our universities, which is then used to empower China, albeit only a little bit. At least, that is my view.

It hurts those Chinese students alot less than the PRC hurts the Uyghur and Tibetans.

What if some of those exchange students are Uyghur or Tibetan? Not likely, I suppose, but your idea did not consider the possibility.

Exchange students are one of the best means available to promote peace between countries. My brother had a Chinese roommate in 1975.
