Bill didn't say anything here (yet) but as a Yank working at a UK JV institution in China (and running a department of 450 students in IR/IS), I see increasing tension between Western academic values and the norms of CCP educational practice. We are seeing more and more textbooks blocked, more and more speakers blocked, and more and more pushback against critical pubs of faculty members. For now operations are still on (or will be when covid subsides more fully), but I don't think the future of such exchanges are bright unless we Westerners are willing to trade our scruples for access to the Middle Kingdom. At some point the Western universities in China are going to be in a position where they will say, "enough is enough, and zaijian." We are not there yet, but the day may be coming. I certainly would not recommend launching new Western universities in China, though limited student exchanges are probably going to be fine for a while. Or, perhaps the programs will just have to exclude humanities and social sciences, the ones wherein we are going to have a harder and harder time working together.
