Hundreds of thousands of Chinese students are now enrolled in American universities and colleges. What are the main reasons for them to come here and pay for expensive higher education? 

We can understand this from two angles. The first angle is why they want to come here. The second angle is how they can come here. So, the first is about their motivation; the second is about their capacity. They are largely driven by the higher quality of higher education: more opportunities here, larger number of higher-ranking, higher-quality, world-class colleges in the United States than in China.

The capacity for them to come here is largely due to the rising middle-class population in China that makes them able to afford the very expensive higher education here in the United States.
