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. We recommend this post to you as it’s a powerful source when analyzing the Chinese overseas education market. 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.
