“We definitely are seeking among [Cdn universities] the best cases because Canada is a big country in terms of education. You have huge experience,” Mr. Yidan said through an interpreter . . .  “Canada in terms of education is quite successful, their educational model is well known.. attracts lots of Chinese students and also students from Asian countries.

Okay... so Mr. Yidan is interested in Canada because its a 'Big Country' & has a large Chinese Pop. in British Columbia & let's face it -- Chinese Expansionism into Canada would suit the ruling Communist Gov't of an over-crowded, under-educated Third World Country.

Sophomoric Canada -- ripe for domination..

Idea that this Billionaire is benevolently handing out cash to major Universities of the Planet is just a little too 'pie in the sky'.

What's this Chinese Sovereign National -- whose country is ruled by a Communist regime which has many state-owned corporations --  getting out of this?

That's the real question here...
