China’s drive for foreign students is paying off
China’s ambitious drive to attract more foreign students is beginning to pay off with 397,635 students from overseas studying in China last year. This is in line with the government’s target of achieving an overall international student population of 350,000 by 2015. Although there has been a slowdown in numbers since 2014, the number of foreign students in China has been growing on average 10% year-on-year since 2006. University World News
