- The number of Chinese students enrolling at American secondary schools is on the rise--and if the success of the Wisconsin International Academy is any indication, it will grow exponentially in the years ahead.
VICE News Tonight visits a former hotel in Milwaukee that is now home to 170 Chinese teenagers. They have left their families on the other side of the world to study for a better future in the American Midwest.

First lesson in living in America: we want your money.
It's owned by Chinese gov. (Cernet) USA won't see a penny, we may even give them tax breaks or something idk, I know this is not fair for US citizens seeking education or technical skill.
Evil Gary Agreed.
A uk reporter interviewing an American educator about Chinese students. Why? It sounded more like about money than education. Keeping enrollment up. Talk about globalization . Wow
she really adapt to US culture
This President guy looks like Jack Ma with glasses.
Can't blame them for wanting their kids to be able choose to be whatever they want to be.
"Braun child".. pans to kid holding plate with mouth looking around
I went to a private high school in the States as an international student. Realistically, the schools didn't decide to admit more international students for diversity, but are rather in it for the money. My high school recruited more Chinese students when they saw that their financial situation was going downhill. When there's an overwhelming number of international students in a school, the Chinese students themselves will no longer get the immersive experience their parents paid big bucks for; and it is not fair to use students as a financial tool, especially when they claim to be "non-profit."
Jiayuan Wang Bottom line no one talks about especially the racists. Secretly they want more Chinese students to use as scape goats and lining their pockets. It's all about the money really. Actually these universities see Chinese as nothing more than cash cows. Chinese enrolments in the US are also getting fewer and fewer anyway but anything like this is not news because Americans are too embarrassed that Chinese don't need them.
Smell like the republic spirit, minus teens and plus money, money money.
Jiayuan Wang welcome to capitalism
I don't feel like this is a secret, or at least an open secret. Rich parents in the US pay to send their kids to the best schools, and rich parents in other countries do the same. Then, the school uses the income from the students who pay full tuition to subsidize students on financial aid or other programs, which she mentions quite honestly at 3:55. Its just the economics of running a school. That doesn't mean that they are profiting. As you said, they are non-profits. That just means they can cover their costs or increase their programming.
You are right on that. Its money!!!
We, in Washington state, deal more with Japan and MOSTLY Mexicans but our neighbors in Canada are dealing with a crisis because the government is letting in basically ONLY rich Chinese and its screwing up the economy, not making it better!!! Our economy is a mess as well because of it. Mostly because we have poor Mexican families coming in and having to spend SO MUCH educational funds on teaching them English.
Everyone complaining about international students need to understand this:
1) They sacrifice their home and culture so they have more incentive to work harder and will probably be more successful than you
2) Middle class families in America generally live comfortable lives, this leads to a lazy lifestyle and the offspring of middle class families (you, the complainer), probably did not try hard enough in school or went to college to party and not secure yourself in this highly competitive society
3) Stop complaining about people "stealing" your jobs and education and try harder instead.
I agree. I find it amazing how a lot of my fellow Americans complain about foreigners taking "their" jobs like they are entitled to those jobs. Everybody is just trying to survive and make a living. As far as I am concerned, those who have an advantage to start out, like people in the middle class, need to take advantage of those opportunities ASAP because there are people who have to struggle to get out of poverty and improve their lives, and those kids are going to put in more work to improve their lives. Great examples of Americans who grew up in low-income households and became wealthy & successful through putting in the work and taking risks include Ken Langone (financier and Home Depot founder), Colonel Harlan Sanders (KFC founder), Dr. Quinones-Hinohosa (formerly an undocumented immigrant turned world-renowned neurosurgeon), Jose Hernandez (natural-born American retired astronaut and son of migrant workers), and Lloyd Blankfein (former Goldman Sachs CEO).
The complainers have zero "grit" because they grew up & lived too comfortably without understanding how precarious their financial situations are whereas the successful people who originally came from low-income families or poverty had the "grit" to keep fighting to improve their lives.
You're describing a situation that isn't unique to the United States at all. 1.) Some Chinese people complain about foreigners living and working in China, similar to what happens in the United States. 2.) Wealthy Chinese people are actively buying up much of the United States real estate, food supply, and have plans to acquire much more. As an "American", it's odd that you feel a greater loyalty to Chinese people than to Americans.
"success" is subjective. no amount of money and "success" can make you empty shells less empty inside 😂😂
Not necessarily there are plenty of opportunities in China. They know their Universities aren't as good so they just go there to study and then go back to their homeland to work.
4:52 is he Jack Ma's lost brother?
tenzin lhakpa lmfao
Alien clone for sure!
It is $40000-$50000/year.. Our social elites are so desperate to send their kids to learn banana dance...
Lmao
Maybe because learning the Banana Dance actually makes you more intelligent.
Well it does cover more than just tuition. It also covers food and transportation.
Have you ever done the math on how much you spend on food every year? And that just food, how much gas do you use to get to the food.
They say you have a +50% chance of getting into med school if you have a copy of banana dance on your resume.
The kids go abroad and become westernized. They do not want to come back. The Chinese ladies want to marry White men. It is very shameful. Chinese Government should put quota on students leaving the country. They must pay heavy tax for studying abroad.
I for one welcome our Chinese overlords
I'm sticking with the oveladies, you can keep the overlords. ;)
The Middle Man human you and your human Chinese overload would never beat the master I Robot race the machines will uprise
First we need the 5G network before the machines can take over.
oh..oh... the minimum SAT score is gonna increase
Hehe I got 1300 and still got into UCSD
Midwest is ACT but this is still kinda funny
I have a friend who came to America for high school.
My parents used to send him Chinese snacks in the mail. Hehe.
When I heard the package part in the report I immediately thought of snacks!
This is a great opportunity. American and Chinese high school students have a lot to teach each other. Maybe some American students should visit China too.
Lol. Yeah. No chance of losing all our freedoms and hoping the banana dance gives us a good social score to be able leave.
China is too corupt, one mistake and you're locked up for life for something petty.
Am I the only one who think that the president of the student dorm looks like Jack Ma?
and sound alike!
I wonder if these kids will make a change in chinese politics in the future since alot of them are from rich and powerful families, bringing western culture and thinking back to china was one of the major influences of the Xinhai Revolution by Sun Zhong Shan taking down the Qing Dynasty.
It’s Sun Yet San......
if you want to get in the politics in china meritocracy , you gonna start from the bottoms .
Why would chins want to be like the west politically? ? Its a mess
she cute
Traffer found the White nerd hiding in his mom's basement
I was a exchange student in Asia. that shit is intense. I don't blame them
Common Asian stereotype. "I want to be a doctor."
Half the doctors at my local surgery in Scotland are asian, yet we are only a tiny % of the population so i guess it works out.
The thing is that there are always sick people. Regardless of whether it's in their own country or abroad, there are always people in need of treatment and medication. Also, not every disease has a solution yet, so there's also a need for medical research. In this way, there's always a need for those in the medical field.
They make pretty good engineers and doctors, at least in theory, if they are very disciplined. Most Asians, especially Chinese, are NOT known for creativity, it's just not in their culture. I have worked with many over the years. The only creative Chinese I have known were from Taiwan. Even the children raised in the USA since very young, due to parental imprinting, usually only have 'creativity' in computer science or figuring out ways to make money. They're all about money, and nothing else, at least the ones I have met. The creative ones are really wonderful people though, very sad, they are in the minority. Indians are not much different. They all tend to make great Ph.D. students and do well in research settings / government or science jobs, but they can barely tie their shoes or do very much that requires common sense or construction / hands-on skills. It's not just a general lack of spatial ability, it's also an overriding sense of entitlement and laziness created by a caste society and worship of money as an End-All, Be-All. And the parents are so brainwashed by the Communist government, trying to explain reality to them is like bashing your head against a brick wall.
YamFZR93
There is some truth currrently in that but you can't account for the golden ages in Chinese history where innovations, discoveries and inventions were plentiful. Our civilization couldn't have gotten so far without creativity. We stagnated in the past few centuries just as some of the west fell into the dark ages while arabs and chinese were enjoying golden ages.
Are you coming into contact with a specific class of Chinese? I've met postgraduates that had never worked a day in their life and were just like the ones that couldn't tie their shoe laces. But there were others who were poor and clawed their way up - to them it is western people who seem entitled and lazy.
You're probably right also. I'm quite sure none of us can see the entire picture. At least 7 billion people none of us have ever gotten to know, only who we have met in our daily living and occasional travels.
I sincerely hope all this exposure to the U.S. is good for the Chinese. They may perhaps take back some very different attitudes home with them.
I doubt they'll go home. Their parents might just buy them a house or make an investment and the govt will give them a green card. www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-job/green-card-through-investment
GOPsithlord yeah stuff like "pretend to be pro peace while actually fighting three simultaneous wars, blame other countries for your lack of jobs, racism, underhanded tactics at foreign policy, etc"
hey not all Chinese kids in US are rich
We are
They can go work at the one of the many chinese owned US companies. Then mama and papa can come visit and buy a visa / green card.
I live/work by both of these places. Never would have guessed there were 170. Welcome to our city/country though!
I never knew this kind of semi-boarding styled schools existed, but always good to know. Welp I'm probably gonna miss my parents if they don't live with me though for sure, good thing they are here.
What really surprises me is that students from china with population of 1.4 billion has 50k f1 visas while south korea with population of 50mil has 8k. Proportionally there are really alot of korean students then.
Yea but America isn't the only place for the Chinese students to go. Canada is probably more popular, UK schools are also seem as the more prestigious than American ones. Then there's Germany.
Chinese Sparrows Proportionately, there are fewer Chinese overseas than even Americans, Germans, Italians, Spanish overseas but no one talks about this.
because we know if the US stopped importing foreigners, the number of STEM graduates would be zilch
/ The US is indeed in need of STEM students. LOTS OF THEM
Shutup
From mainly Asian countries
are you fucking kidding me?! 50k is NOTHING! THERE'S EASILY that many Chinese high school students in ONE city in Australia! they're building new CITIES here just to house Chinese high school students! you just sound so racist. no wonder, considering you were the last country to get rid of slavery
Oh my lord, how do people keep getting race baited this easily? Stop responding to obvious troll comments.
Her laugh is adorable
Remember, these are all PRIVATE schools, which set their own standards and curriculum, at a premium price of course. They set up shop in Wisconsin because apparently to set up shop is cheap as shit, thus maximizing profit, as they charge the Chinese students 4,000$ more than American kids. Chinese parents well know not to send their kids to PUBLIC schools in the US as it's a failure. PRIVATE schools are taking over, and that's a sad situation. The more this country that I love is privatizing our prisons, our schools, and private security firms, and many more industries the more we lose our liberty and freedoms. Welcome to The Corporation States of America...
Greedy Catholics at their best.
Out of all the states they can go to, they choose Wisconsin???
You bet your dairy air!
LOL
because of clean air, greener pastures. China has horrible pollution, you can never see the sky, the moon, 100 feet in front of you.
Believe it or not the Midwest is actually a pretty good place to live. There are tons of Chinese kids at my college.
To a chinese, they don't even know the difference as long as it's American
That's nice. That way they can stay with each other and not feel so alone.
From Guangzhou, but doesn't speak Cantonese...
Guangzhou has plenty of Northerners who have migrated there in the past 30-40 years for work.
I went to USM, a private school outside of Milwaukee. USM, University School Of Milwaukee. It was private and we had to wear a suit and tie from 5th grade on. It was a very good school and I loved it. We were bussed in from all parts of the city. It was expensive. I grew up in a wealthy family. However, I will say that school is what you make of it and anybody can excel if they want to. I am a poor musician now, lol. Just goes to show that a great education does't always pan out. I also went to an Ivy League college. I won't say when though. It was quite a long time ago.
*BAN CHINA!*
EDIT: Sorry, thought this was PUBG/Fortnite.
By being in high school in the states this students can register now with in state tuition which is 1/4 of international/ out of state tuition. Still taking advantage of the system if you ask me.
3:50 fucking loaded question if I ever heard one.
money buys better education.
Good for them. Wisconsin is loaded with world class attractions and events.
I am all for it, but we should charge more plus a tax, and for every Chinese that goes to OUR school we should be able to send an American to school. This is not right, come on man.
The price seems fair when break it down into room food and transport for 1 year. This is a good business.
notice how the chinese students all adopt english names, while we still got akberajiaha bashalaja and then you get called a racist for mispronouncing the name
They are just turning them into the model minority?-
It is so weird to see this since I personally know some of the students in the video and have even been to WIA. I never knew that it was that big of a deal that someone would go out of their way to make a video about it.
surprisingly studying in USA is cheaper than Hong Kong
Renegotiate Chinese trade agreements....TAX them and their crapy imported goods.
I'm very jealous after watching this ☹️☹️
The scientist-turned-businessman who turned that hotel into a dorm looks like Jack Ma! (CEO of Alibaba)
Dixon Adair it is
And he talks like him too!
US education isent that bad if you go to a private school. I mean here at my college (you bet it's private) there are tons of Chinese...and Saudis.
My girlfriend came to Canada from China in 2004 to go to high school here. Her parents sent her so she would never have to go back to China. They made it here a few years ago.
They were prepared to never see her again so she could be free.
☕️🐸 Some of this contradicts the reality of WIA (Wisconsin International Academy) and these kids leaving their homes to study
@ 2:45 isn't that the Alibaba guy holy mole!
That's not Jack Ma :')
He's a Jack Ma clone for sure ツ
At best, from the side they look a little similar, but that's it.
SuperSimpleasthat lol fuhny
They could hire him as a body double LOL
The Chinese is about face, if parents can brag their kids went to school abroad it makes them look better. Their chances of getting a job when they return is higher and it don't even matter which college they go to. There's tons of international students going to art schools and city college where I'm from.
Schools get the best kids, kids get the best education, win win.
dude, we need more Asians in the south eastern part of the states
God damn that's expensive
im sorry but why are they going to middle of nowhere states like wisconsin and iowa????
iscai834 focus on studying cause nothing better to do. It's cheaper cost of living so the owner of motel can charge highest cost of living cost to parents and make more money
They are in Wauwatosa, WI. Wauwatosa is a very nice suburb of Milwaukee with great restaurants and the best mall in the state. They are 10 minutes from Miller Park (Milwaukee Brewers) and 20 minutes from the Fiserv Forum (Milwaukee Bucks), 60 minutes from Road America (4.0 miles Road Course) in Elkhart Lake and 90 minutes from Chicago.
I spent some of my high school years in Canada at a boarding school that had a number of students from Hong Kong (pre 1999 Chinese take over). I really valued the friendships I cultivated with them and they enjoyed experiencing and studying in a different environment. It set them up much better to be prepared for universities in both Canada and the USA.
US school system is also like the most expensive in the world.
I'm turning 18 in june, doing my second year at college and I have a job. I miss high school, I wanna be a kid again. gosh! I feel like I grew up too soon.
she looks like yuna kim
thats my boy Jack Ma!
I wish I have a chance to study in the US when I was in secondary school ... : (
These people are inflating the university selection pool
2:40 Now I know what Jack Ma does in his spare time
Thanks Wal-Mart for this.
I love these people coming to my city milwaukee. I love it. I want to visit them. :)
4/3/19....THIS is WHY China is doing so well esp internationally.
Well to do Chinese are sending their children to the USA to get a good education with hopes that they will return to China with their efucation + knowledge of business & how the USA economy/country/
society works & change China customs/culture for the best.
Asians VALUE their next generation + education.
GOD BLESS THESE EAGER-TO-LEARN STUDENTS & HELP THEM BETTER THEIR ORIGINAL COUNTRY/CUSTOMS/CULTURE/SOCIETY WHEN THEY RETURN HOME!
Wrong she is not telling True, she maybe need to be true and telling truth.
It's a myth that parochial schools like this Catholic School in Milwaukee are privately funded . Many of these types of schools receive a lot of tax dollars to operate . In NO way should American tax dollars be spent to pay for these "private " schools for wealthy foreign studnets or any student. Obviously USA is a shaddy country so parochial schools across the country like state colleges/uni are allowed to make $billions of dollars and still fit the catagory of "a non profit" . If people of Milwaukee or the state are paying for these types of school... the state of Wiscosin should be suing and shuting them down.
I’m surprised this school has been accused of being racist I only see white kids BUT $50,000 sure makes a difference..
Banana dance ... OMG poor Chinese parents are getting Punk'd!!!
So these kids from rich families get to go to private school and live in a hotel where they can do as they please? Don't criticize the US school system, these kids are going to a private school.
so much ignorance shit in the comment section, as an international high schooler i can say that there are different side, some student are sent here because they are rejected in traditional school and money speak. but in my school where student come from every continent possible, most of them came to start assimilating and getting in to the top, like Brown and BU and MIT or full ride level, and yes some student can take a full ap load and still be breezy because us education system encourage not force and yes that might be easier than most country but some students can't even keep up with cp classes. in the end there are many sides to this, but a lot of these students still come out in the top
Education should not be a money making business. Motives have to be
Pure love for the next generation,
Truth and wisdom, not inclusivity,
No discrimination.
Dawn FKA hamilton-doerfler
Everything is about money in US.
Yay Filst prace! Famiry wirr not be dishonoled.
Edward Abaring hahahah!!
Vely shamefur
Funny. Ha ha ha!
Random UA-cam Watcher are you from r/aznidentity
Random UA-cam Watcher ok then lol.
This is very interesting but not surprising. This is one of the reasons I hate when people try to tell Black people to be more like Asians.
Like if people want to spend 50k to send their kids to boarding school there are nice ones that aren't in run down old hotels.
Okay.. Is it me or is anyone else freaking out ?? .. Anyone seen "Americans" on Amazon?
Americans need to watch how hard working these Asians are and emulate that but i wont hold my breath
He looks like billionaire Jack MA lol
Love it!
These kids will forever have an understanding of freedom and choice that a western culture can provide. They will return home one day and a part of them will forever be American!
TheRamsfanstl lol what a retarded comment
they will understand how chinese constitution is superior, later.
Asian wants to be a doctor .......... what a surprise .
And Trump hasn’t said anything about this yet?
great..educate public enemy number one in our country
She is happier than the average high school kids in China, at least.
US govt. must ensure that these kids stay in the US.
Let's see what Trump has to say about this trend...
hot asians. nice
Airborn almost as nice as those ignorant entitled white and American guys with Asian fetish
this documentary is about school students, nearly all of them underage. nice.
lmao
The girl interviewed is 19, so it is ok.
yeah but it don't have nothing to do with losers like you :/
Meh, some how this annoyed me.
All I see are pale people. Two Black women in the year book lol.
Kravesin probably hit a xenophobic nerve
Milwaukee is one of the worst in economic inequality, especially among their large black community.
Well, there is smth to worry. Chinese are rly patriotic, everything they learn, they will carry back to China, to benefit their country. Thats their menthality. If you take a look at european universities, especially Music ones, like Hans-Eisler in Berlin, you'll see how many Chinese there are. So, It's time to learn chinese.
onlinehilz why worry?
because there going back to china while taking western education dumbass
onlinehilz because americans are so unpatriotic, yeah
how is that a bad thing? you say nothing here. how is it being "taken away." if anything it's being brought TO china and that might be a good thing. More American-friendly Chinese?
Bruh, these rich Chinese contribute way more to your economy than a typical western citizen. Win win.
So they go to school I. Another country. Ok
Wow this is college before college
Dam these kids getting robbed
Probably wanna escape the gao kao
Former Dean of Students.
