Budget based on the city you'll live in, not just tuition.
Research scholarship options early.

Cost of living is so low but tuition fee is so high for foreigners unless your earn a scholarship. But still It’s so cheap compared to US, Canada and the EU

Question: are the tuition costs higher for international students than they are for Chinese citizens? What kind of scholarship programs exist in China?

For the question regarding tuition, sadly I don't have any oficial document or news that clarifies this so I am unable to answer.

As for the scholarship, there are many types available. Some of them are explained here -> https://www.campuschina.org/scholarships/index.html

In the case of the scholarships available for my country Mexico, those offer:

Payment of tuition and fees.
Monthly stipend for living expenses.
Accommodation: free university residence or accommodation subsidy.
Medical insurance.
