More Chinese students are studying abroad in America than ever before, and they're bringing their (well, their family's) cash along with them, as Vocativ found when they visited an all-Chinese supercar group in California.

This epic fu'erdai (second generation rich) are sporting all sorts of high-end automotives, in an even that is - of course - coordinated via Wechat.

Watch as Vocativ's interviewer asks whether a study-abroad student drives her luxury car to school ("No, I have an Audi for that") and then at 1:55 when the video editor apparently decided "Nobody who will watch this understands Chinese" and decided to write completely off-the-mark subtitles.

They may not be getting into Harvard, but these Chinese abroad are definitely still part of the American super-wealthy (as long as their student visas hold out.)
