Has anyone studied the effects of an American education in bringing more westernization and western ideas into China ? Surely all these graduate students aren’t gonna go back with the same exact ideology that they came with, per se

The kind of students who have the means to study abroad are more often than not (in my anecdotal experience, in the Netherlands (which has a different scholarship dynamic too)) already pretty Westernised. I also know that myself, given I got to leave Turkey.
The effect is of the same order of magnitude as that which American students who study in China experience. It stands to reason that us Americans would be impressed and influenced by seeing such a economic success story up close, right?...
