The US is becoming a less favorable spot for further study with Chinese students who decide to pursue their academic dream abroad, according to the Chinese private education giant XDF.

Several takeaways are highlighted – The percentage of respondents who rank the states as their top choice has dropped to 43%, down from 49% in 2017; the recent tensions between the U.S. as a contributing factor to the slashed number of applicants, adding that U.S. State Department was also taking actions to limit student visas awarded to Chinese citizens; the large-scale college admissions scandal known as Operation Varsity Blues impaired the reputation of American universities being just and fair to students’ admission decision.
