This is happening because there aren't enough places at good Chinese universities. Australia, Canada, and New Zealand are also seeing a similar influx of Chinese students. Since the Chinese are trying hard to expand their university system, I predict that this wave will subside in another decade or so.
We have lots of Chinese undergrads at my current university. Some are good, some aren't. Pretty much like the American students...
