Some anecdotal evidence. Recently coworkers of mine flew for a few weeks up and down the west coast with a lot of time spent in the LA basin, the CA central valley, and around Redding, CA. They came back with stories to tell of airwaves filled with Chinese speaking students and it seemed that many of the FBOs were filled with foreign students in the airline pilot style uniforms milling about the place.

A couple of months ago a CFII at the largest flight school at KHIO told me 80% or more of the students are foreigners.

My husband's flight school gets about 70% of their students from China.
