With $15 billion at stake, American universities are concerned that they may see a decrease in the number of Chinese students seeking an American education in the 20-21 school year because of the coronavirus.
The South China Morning Post reports that the COVID-19 virus has forced Chinese students to face difficulties on the scheduling of entrance exams, travel restrictions and not knowing when, or if, classes will reopen.
If Chinese students withdraw from U.S. universities, the effect would be severe. According to Statista, there were 369,548 Chinese students in the U.S. in 2019 – an increase from just 98,235 in 2008. China contributes more students to the US education system than any other country.
International friction also has arisen in American campuses, where Chinese students’ Confucius Institutes, feared to be a source of espionage, have been closed down in two dozen American colleges.

It’s not all about the money. Colleges need to heed the advice and figure out other ways to increase enrollment domestically.
ReplyDeletewe need to stop educating them so they can screw us down the line. We are to open with them.
ReplyDeleteSorry universities, your cash cow went POOF!!!!!!!! Better re-calculate your formula's and pay those tenured Professors LESS!
ReplyDeleteWell there goes their smartest most example students.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need them here, send them to their own crummy schools.
ReplyDeleteAwww, boo hoo. They should not be here to start with.
ReplyDeleteEach and every Chinese student in our higher education system needs to be considered a spy for China.
ReplyDeleteThey know that if they don't do what China wants then family members will disappear.
Well then they can just go visit with all of them then
ReplyDeleteChinese students steal our knowledge and take it back to their country to use against us.

DeleteMe and you don’t have any knowledge worth stealing. Lol
Actually the China Students are just kids. Just like Americans. They know nothing about these evil governments and even less about the currency creation at the Fed and the BOC.
The Chinese students need to go back to their own country and learn from their own Communist professors and not pay the US Communist professors.
ReplyDeleteWe should kill all of them that are here in our country! Spies all of them!
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: Let’s hope that they come to their senses and eliminate all potential Chinese spy’s attending US Universities. They are not our friends and they have expended every possible strategy to subvert us as a country. Expelled all of them.
ReplyDeleteThey brought the coronavirus over here from China when they returned from Christmas break in January.
