I have a really different story compared to what is posted here, but then again mine might just be an outlier.
I got almost a full ride to one of the top 30 liberal arts (ok I know, everyone got a beta past ) in the US, and one of the most beautiful campuses in the South. To study Sociology. I really enjoyed my time in America and did very well in school. I became a writing consultant (means I correct people's grammar and paper), did an Honor program and got a semester study abroad in France. Graduated top 10%
Most of the friends I know who also went to the US at the same time, are now working in the US at middle-class jobs. The girls in particular are very successful, but they are all pretty and very aware of their values in the West. One now worked in Wall-street, has opened her own firm (go figured. She went to MIT due to the help of her boyfriend who was already there) and the other works for Google (she was the most "outgoing" of my class). Another work for Deloitte and marry a plain Jack, got a house, car and everything in between.
The guys all work comfortable consultant desk jobs, though nowhere near as breezy as the girls. None of them seem to have any integration problem.
All these people went to US on full scholarship, only two guys out of the dozens I know go on their own dime, but they are nevertheless very smart, and hang out with whites. Again, I admit that my experience might be outlier.
We all share a common dislike for the "typical" Chinese students who are both weird, cheating and very loud on campus. I remember every Friday there's a shuttle to the mall and there's this horde of rich Chinese girls every fucking time. When they come back they all have like a dozens bags full of brand products.
There are a few Chinese guys who are chilled, but I would not call them cool.
Working as a Writing Consultant it's my nightmare everytime there's a Chinese student coming into office. I dont even know where to start with their papers mostly, there's fault every mm. And most of them try to blame it on their professor ??
I tend to agree the move is a money grab from US colleges, but then why give full rides to people like myself and my friends?
There might be the propaganda theory because most of my friends do subscribe to the SJW programs, although most wouldn't care less either way. And if in the mean time they manage to replace some US workers with highly qualified Viets, why not?
I do agree that this all point towards an internationalization of the working class, so that the elites have a ready, mobile force of workers already in their pay everywhere they go in the world.
Please don't tell me that you were correcting other people's English grammar and term papers.
