It is not about money for most universities - this happens all across the world even in Europe where the colleges are state-funded.
This is intellectual globalism and also partly the globalists educating developing countries on the tab of the Western ones.
In the future they want a mobile educated class who are willing to move for jobs from Shanghai to Frankfurt, then 2 years to Argentina, then to Austin. International education is part of the tool of that. There are also hugely funded post-graduate programs.
This is nothing new by the way. The globalists began to fund Chinese engineers in the 1970s and it went all on through the 1980s. Back then it appeared strange because there were no jobs for those men. But those buggers plan and work ahead. Those jobs appeared beginning in the 1990s and there were tens of thousands of educated engineers and managers already in the country who could move China quickly in the right direction.
Good assessment. A lot of globalist multinationals have a hard time getting past that language and culture barrier. Having someone from a market they're expanding in with a Western education helps get them around those obstacles.
