I hate all the cynics and conspiracy theories here. It's a generous move, and deeply appreciated.
Jack didn't spend that much money to be a douchebag. He spent it because this will save countless lives.

Yes, he's a native Chinese speaker whose English is clumsy and ineloquent. Guess how native English speakers sound when they're trying to speak Chinese?
Chinese unis don’t have the best reputation, but I would expect him to be able to speak the language decently well at least.

He also sent similar to Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Spain - which makes it look a little less so, at least to my eye.
