IDSE for mainland students with no HK residency wouldn’t be a problem at all. Such students are always considered as international students by local universities. Otherwise they can’t score full marks in global engagement for ranking.
In fact, our country are fighting for standard setting and discourse power with the western countries. We can promote this IDSE to the BRICS, Belt&Road and Global South countries and set it as a standard for applying local universities. It is not easy to create an English version of Gaokao but IDSE can serve this purpose easily.
As long as the JUPAS quota reserved for local students doesn’t reduced, more mainland and international students studying DSE can only benefit the local students as this can promote the global recognition of DSE.
Local students studying IAL/IB will suffer from this IDSE as the competition will be higher for non JUPAS. However, this may push them back to DSE and to a certain extent restore the fairness to the local students who cannot afford IAL/IB.

Correct me if Im wrong.
1. Such students are always considered as international students by local universities.
(They are classified as non-domestic students)
2. Otherwise they can’t score full marks in global engagement for ranking.
(well.... 見人講人话, 見鬼講鬼話, that's the beauty of the language ambiguity.)
3. As long as the JUPAS quota reserved for local students doesn’t reduced,
(could agree no more}
4. Local students studying IAL/IB will suffer from this IDSE as the competition will be higher for non JUPAS. However, this may push them back to DSE and to a certain extent restore the fairness to the local students who cannot afford IAL/IB.
(That depends… if the quotas are separated for local and non-domesticstudents, then the exam might not be such a big issue.)
Mainland students and students from other countries are paying the same tuition fee and sharing the 40% quota for non local students.
Some DSE students or their parents still see IAL/IB as easier shortcut to local universities, competitive programmes like medicine in particular. More intense competition in non JUPAS at least make them feel more comfortable mentally.
