A lot of those stricter visa regulations were probably created due to pressure from people that are in private education who are connected to the party in order to practice a blatant form of rent seeking, where they can limit the power of the foreign teachers and severely limit their earning potential, whilst significantly increasing their own.

Yet at the same time, some people in the government seem to show intent to clamp down on private training centres, their general lack of standards and maybe more importantly; the fact that they allow for the supposed infiltration of Western ideas.

There's always a lot of contradictions in this country.
