After the pandemic, young Chinese are again looking to study abroad.
FILE - Students line up to enter a school for the first day of China's national college entrance examinations, known as the gaokao, in Beijing, Tuesday, June 7, 2022. But the decades-long run that has sent an estimated 3 million Chinese students to the U.S. could be trending down. – In the Chinese city of Shanghai, two young women seeking an education abroad have both decided against going to the United States, a destination of choice for decades that may be losing its shine.
Cutting people-to-people exchanges could have a lasting impact on relations between the two countries. Andrew Chen, chief executive officer of Pittsburgh-based WholeRen Education, which has advised Chinese students in the U.S. for the past 14 years, said the downward trend is here to stay. The U.S.-China Education Trust acknowledged the predicament facing Chinese students. “Students from China have been criticized in the U.S. as potential spies, and in China as too influenced by the West,” the organization said in a report following a survey of Chinese students in the U.S. between 1991 and 2021.
The State Department issued 86,080 F-1 student visas to Chinese students in the budget year ending in September, up nearly 40% from the year earlier. Still, the number remains below the pre-pandemic level of 105,775.
