Here is interesting rule of thumb. No matter what your views and feelings are about culture, roots, politics, when it comes to education you would send your kids to the West for tertiary education. They might do a module or a post grad or a diploma in China but your core education will be in the West if overseas is an option.
All the opium stories, the factual western record of imperialism, overseas conquest and invasions, sponsored coups and overthrow of government thru assassination are suddenly forgotten. Its called context. They would not dare suggest to their own kids to consider China because they would be laughed and ridiculed. You would not even suggest China or India as an option to colleagues and friends as they will probably think you are confused, mad or mocking these countries.
Is the the same as those anti west Arab Moslems fanatics whose secretly love Coca Cola and American fast food like MacDonalds?
Or NK fat Kim who is a fan of Hollywood?
