American and UK qualifications are considered higher quality. Say if 2 people applies for job in Hong kong. 1 with UK degree and another with Hong Kong Degree, the guy with UK certificate would prolly get the job.

It is currently trendy to have diplomas from these countries, because only those with sufficient financial background can afford. In this way they distinguish themselves from the rest of the people. Unfortunately this position is highly supported by HR managers. From my decades of experience I cannot confirm this standpoint because at the end it is not the theory some people have learned by the quality of work they will produce - not by talking big but by showing proper results. And to be honest, often enough I had people with a so-called lower class paper that produced better results, because they understand how to work hard for something.

Some Japanese people from Japan feel Japan is too homogeneous of a society and they want to explore abroad and it can be as simple as that. Most want to learn English and it is difficult to learn it properly in Japan. For China a foreign degree holds more weight than a Chinese degree. If you have a degree from a US college you get extra points and have a better chance of getting a good job which is kind of the whole reason for going to any college. If you want to live in a place you don't have to worry about money you better not choose Japan because it is just as expensive as the US to live. It is easier for Chinese and Japanese to blend in to the US than it would be for you to fit in going to a college in Japan or China.

because american college are ranked highest among the world. There is an old perception that a US degree is more recognized worldwide but those are old beliefs. Nowadays, US recognize alot more worldwide diplomas.

I know about the Hong Kong part... There are multiple type of reasons.. 1. Bad or so so students from rich/affordable family won't be able to enter College in HK, they would go to US for college (other popular choices are Canada/UK/Austrialia). HK does not have that many colleges. Whether a HK student can be admitted to college in HK is based on the board exam result as HKCEE / HKAD. These exam aren't easy. A so so student may do very well in some average college in US. [The HK residents would fight for 1 set of quote. For foreign students of HK, there is a different set of quote. You may be able to enter a Top College in HK much easier than a HK resident.] 2. Some excellent student want to enter top University of the world. Their target would most likely an Ivy college or similiar. 3. Some HK people just do not like the Chinese government, and want to send their child to oversea just in case Chinese Government do funny thing in HK. (1 major reason before 1997. Don't really think this happens now.) 4. Better opportunity to get a better job. (Once the student graduated in US, they got a chance to work in US, they have better English, they known better for the outside world than just their home country. Whether they would eventually stay in US or back to HK, it improves the chance for getting a job.
