I think the biggest draw is that the best universities are now in China, and they are only going to get stronger with time since China has a very strong school system. Someone leaving school in my country (India) can study for almost no cost at an Indian government college, but even our best institutions cannot compete with Chinese universities in funding, student and teacher quality, international rankings (yes, I know they aren't all that accurate, but many employers care about stuff like this) and ultimately career prospects.
