Get the aviation degree if you want, and go to ERAU if you want. If you have money to burn, why not.
If you have other priorities than burn money and gain a reputation as a trust fund kid, you might consider other options.
As for flying in China...you haven't done the research that you think you've done.
I'm not a trust fund kid, I don't have the money to burn but I know I have the option to finance this with student loans. As for being a foreign airline pilot in China, I'm still doing research on PPRuNe seeing the pros and cons and so far it seems doable if I focus on my main objective.
