jobs - Number Chinese students to US keeps dropping

Less Chinese students have applied to study in the US, compared to last year, when the number already went down 28 percent, reports AP. While visa application procedures have been streamlined, the current restrictions are still blamed to a big part of the reduction in foreign students in the US.
While on average the number of foreign students is expected to drop 6 percent, the expected drop of Chinese and Indian students is larger, respectively 13 and 9 percent.
Apart from visa restrictions, also a difficult labor market in China is deterring Chinese from investing now in their education. With few exceptions, very few returning Chinese students can find better or better paid jobs than they had before they left.
