Why are Chinese students going to the U.S. decreasing?

In addition to the epidemic, there are three other reasons: the situation in the United States is a bit chaotic, the policy wind is changing sharply, and the hardness of diplomas is declining rapidly.

1. The numbers don't lie

On the one hand, the total number is declining, and on the other hand, the total proportion is firm, how should it be explained? Some people say that the impact of the epidemic is great, some people say that the attractiveness of the United States has declined, and some people say that studying abroad is unnecessary, are these statements reliable? In my opinion, at least not entirely reliable.

The impact of the epidemic is indeed very great, not to mention that it is difficult to find a ticket for flights alone, ** soaring, visa restrictions, and fear of the risk of infection, which has caused many students to be unable to go to the United States to study.

It is true that the attractiveness of the United States is declining, but American higher education is not without merit, and in many ways leads the country. In my opinion, studying in the United States is really not necessary for students who want to mix diplomas; It is still necessary for those students who want to further their studies.

Second, the situation in the United States is a bit chaotic

What is the situation in the United States now? First, the first change, the policy change is earth-shaking; Second, the epidemic has not been eliminated, and the people's views are not consistent; Third, the pursuit of equal rights has led to the creation of dozens of genders; Fourth, the conflict has intensified, and the safety of international students is not as good as ever.

Some people say that the situation in the United States is that the states are falling apart and scattered, but I think that is biased. It is not a day or two that the bulk states have been working in silos, and the turmoil of the past two years has exacerbated the contradictions, but not to the point of falling apart. However, the various conditions in the United States have indeed led to many international students "waiting and seeing" and "not going".

Third, the policy trend has changed rapidly

Since the Trump administration, the United States has implemented "differential control" over Chinese students. How is the difference? For publicly-funded international students, students from colleges and universities directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and students who go to the United States to study science and engineering, especially high-tech and cutting-edge technical disciplines, the control is extremely strict, but for students in humanities and social sciences, there are not so many restrictions.

After Biden "sat in the village", he signed ** orders one after another, abolishing many of his predecessor's measures overnight, but there was no obvious change in the "differential control" of mainland students. This situation has led to many international students "not being able to go".

Fourth, the hardness of the diploma decreases rapidly

Not to mention, let's just say that five years ago, international students were still widely sought after, and when they went abroad, they could enjoy a variety of preferential treatments: civil servant positions, university teaching positions, talent introduction, priority recruitment, and generous ......

In recent years, employers from inside and outside the system have sharpened their eyes and revised their policies. The treatment of international students has changed from "widely accepted" to "magnifying glass". Many people go abroad either to learn things, or to gild, in the current situation, the cost performance of going abroad seems to them is not so high, and naturally there is a "don't want to go".

The subject's way of looking at the problem may not be so comprehensive, and the decline in the number of visas obtained does not necessarily mean that the number of applications from Chinese students is small, but it may be because of the small number of approvals. For example, next door to my top 985 undergraduate (Beiqing resumption of diplomatic relations) classmates, they have organized a group to go abroad (such as Singapore and other countries) for exchange visits (even the time is only one year), some of them went to the Exit and Entry Bureau two months ago with complete procedures (their own situation, proof of their own school's consent, and a letter of consent from the other school) to complete the visa application, but until now none of them in the whole group have been approved. This shows that at least in some cases, the above visas are becoming more and more stringent, so if you simply see that the number of visas is less, it is really not necessarily that the United States and other Western countries are less attractive to Chinese students.

People are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, if after returning to China, such academic experience can become a strong fulcrum and play a key role in their future, there are still many people who will choose, if it is not so important, there will be fewer people who are naturally selected.

Because of the impact of the epidemic. It is easy to get sick in the United States, and the actual medical conditions are much worse than those in China.

The majority of F and M students come to foreign countries to participate in the higher education system. Approximately 85% of all F and M students are enrolled in an associate's, bachelor's, master's, or doctoral program that is accredited by SEVP. In the foreign higher education system, there were 1019,333 international students pursuing degrees, an increase from March 2017.

The biggest increases and declines have come from students pursuing doctoral and sub-degree programs. Doctoral degree programs increased by 4 percent, while associate degree programs decreased by 5 percent. Students pursuing bachelor's and master's degrees remained steady, with the former growing by less than a percentage point and the latter by only 1 percent.

The number of international students pursuing undergraduate and master's degrees is on the rise, and from March 2017 to March 2018, international students from Asia (F and M visas), especially Chinese students (377,070 students), continued to grow.

Sino-US relations will be tense in the second half of 2022, so the number of Chinese visas to the United States will be relatively reduced.

The epidemic is a very important influencing factor, followed by international tensions.

I know what you're trying to say, and at the same time you understand what I'm talking about, even if I send me a blank picture. If the country is good, the village will issue gold bars and let everyone else go to the United States to avoid scoring benefits;

If the country is not good, the village wants you to earn gold bars and send them to the village committee, and suggests that he stay in the United States so as not to come back and suffer.

As long as the stance changes along the route, there will be no bad guys and good guys.

In the future, China will be the world's largest power. When you travel all over the world, you will know that your hometown is good.

It's okay if you don't learn, but if you really learn something good, you will become a target for you to lock on, and you may die.

This is a very real problem, for many international students, many of them choose the United States as their first choice to study abroad. Because the United States itself sometimes has a lot of educational resources, many of the world's top schools are also in the United States. But for these international students, because the majors of many colleges and universities are not open to Chinese students at all, when there is no way to learn their own majors, Chinese students will try their best to study in schools in European countries, Japan and South Korea, and the ability of American colleges and universities to attract international students is becoming worse and worse.

What's going on with this news?

This is news about studying abroad at various colleges and universities in the United States, and the number of Chinese students at many colleges and universities in the United States is becoming smaller and smaller as the school year is about to begin. Previously, more than 50 percent of international students at some colleges were Chinese, but after the United States gradually restricted the enrollment of Chinese students, the number of Chinese students was even less than 10% of local students. Even though Chinese students can fund the U.S. economy, many institutions do not seem to welcome Chinese students.

This is mainly due to the fact that many schools restrict the admission of Chinese students.

This situation will occur this time, mainly because many schools will restrict the admission of Chinese students, especially for those science and engineering majors, because these majors themselves have the problem of cutting-edge technology, so the number of majors willing to admit Chinese students is becoming smaller and smaller. If this trend continues, it could be a lose-lose situation for both these schools and Chinese students. <>

At the same time, as many colleges and universities in our country become stronger and stronger, many students who originally wanted to study abroad will also choose to study in domestic institutions, and this place will further reduce the number of students studying in the United States and other countries.

Relations between China and the United States have been tense recently, and the prospect of studying in the United States is not as great as before. The development of the epidemic in the world makes people feel that staying in China is the safest, and it will be difficult to go abroad if they can't come back.

First of all, because of the epidemic, only China is the safest country now, and if you want to come back after going abroad, you will have to quarantine for a long time; Second, the United States is really not safe right now, and all kinds of violence are happening.

According to a report from the United States, the number of Chinese students studying in the United States has halved compared with the same period in previous years. The United States used to be the first choice for Chinese students to study abroad, but due to the impact of the epidemic and the conflict between the two countries, the number of Chinese students applying for U.S. visas has also decreased significantly. China is the largest student in the U.S., so halving the number of Chinese students could have a detrimental impact on U.S. universities, such as a devastating blow to U.S. institutions' revenues.

The United States is now one of the countries with the most serious new crown pneumonia epidemic in the world, because the United States has been holding a relatively negative attitude towards the new crown pneumonia epidemic, hoping to achieve the goal of eliminating the virus through herd immunity, but this approach is not recognized by many Chinese students. Many international students in China will think that this practice in the United States may affect their personal safety when studying abroad in the future. <>

There is also a chain of contempt among Chinese international students, and American colleges and universities have previously been at the top of this chain of contempt. Most international students with better family conditions will choose to study in American universities, not only because American universities have the world's top scientific research resources and teachers, but also because American universities will charge relatively high tuition fees, and students can get a higher quality of life in the United States. However, the epidemic has reduced the income of many families, so studying in the United States will also bring a more serious burden.

Nowadays, when Chinese students choose a university to study at, safety is the first place to consider. Not only is the new crown epidemic very dangerous in the United States, but the new crown pneumonia epidemic has also increased the emergence of more social conflicts, and racial discrimination will be more serious, especially for Asian Americans. In fact, many international students can get a very good job opportunity when they return to China in the future, so studying in the United States is not so necessary.

China is a large country with a large population, so if the number of Chinese students to the United States is halved, then it will also have a certain impact on their universities, because the number of students is reduced.

US media: The halving of Chinese students will have an impact on American universities? I think there will definitely be an impact. The number of Chinese students studying abroad is already quite large. If there is a sudden drop in school, it is easy to get used to everything.

According to the United States, the number of Chinese students has been halved, which will have a qualitative impact on American universities, because Chinese students are relatively good.

A few years ago, especially more than a decade ago, the vast number of Chinese compatriots were full of longing and yearning for the United States, and always believed that the United States was the most democratic, equal, and free country, with a developed economy, and it was easy to earn money there and live a very good life, which was almost the "paradise" that many people yearned for, so that many people would choose to study or do business in the United States. After many years, with the continuous improvement of China's economy, science and technology, and military strength, China's international status has been rapidly improved, coupled with the increasing number of cases in the United States and discrimination in Asia, many of us Chinese no longer seem to yearn for the United States. Of course, after all, the United States ranks first in the world in the number of world-class institutions of higher learning, and many people will still choose to study in the United States in order to study.

Recently, the United States*** issued a statement to the world that it will ease entry restrictions for countries and regions that have imposed travel restrictions due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. This means that many international students, including Chinese students, are expected to fly directly to the United States and continue to complete their unfinished studies this fall. According to the U.S. Statement, students and scholars who have been active in China, Iran, Brazil, or South Africa in the past 14 days and whose academic program began on or after August 1, 2021, can enter the U.S. as early as 30 days before the start of the academic program if they already hold an F-1 or M-1 student visa; If you are applying for one of these visas, you can also enter the U.S. up to 30 days before the start of the semester if your visa application is successful.

Although that being said, in fact, whether many Chinese students want to go to school in the United States is a matter that many Chinese students are very troubled by, because they are afraid of the epidemic problem in the United States, after all, the epidemic prevention and control work in the United States is not as good as China's; If you don't go, the schools in the U.S. have announced that they will cancel their enrollment if certain students can't return to school before November this year, so they are very worried at the moment. For this question, I personally think that if you can, you should try not to go, after all, first, the epidemic prevention and control work in the United States is still worse than that of China, and the number of new cases per day is still about 30,000 or 40,000; Second, even if there is a vaccine, after all, no one dares to say that after being vaccinated, there will be no new crown pneumonia. Therefore, for your own safety, it is better not to go to the United States, and in the current situation, it is better to try to take online classes as much as possible.
