At the graduate level, in computer science, they are funded via research grants but work as RAs. They aren’t exactly subsidized by the federal government, and they do work in return, but they are still majority tax payer funded.

Sure maybe PhDs at public universities. That is a small sliver of total Chinese that come here for undergrad or masters programs...

Also private universities (Stanford).

Grads are a large portion of the Chinese that work in SV.

Many of the Chinese who come to the states and pay for their education out of pocket couldn’t get into a good school back home and are going back after their education finishes. The others are rich, here for the experience, and will still go basic home because of their family expectations and connections.
