@etylo, what is the reason for such large number of Chinese students flocking to the US? It is 50% higher then Indian numbers.

Seems like a mad rush amongst the Chinese to head to the US shores.

Because they want for a few yrs of their lives to experience what freedoms and liberty is like before they have to return to China for some other obligations.

Quotes:

"The growth rate of Indian students heading to the US is likely to surpass China in 2022-23 as well, with 82,000 visas issued between June and August this year — the highest number among all countries."

Not that many Indians as Chinese can afford to go to US to live and study now. Chinese GDP per captia is 5 to 6 times that of Indian.

At least, China as a nation doesn't consider US an "enemy" now as India no doubt considers China a "sworn enemy". China and US didn't have border clash as India and China had recently.

have some brain.

China GDP percapita is high and most of the families only have one or two children, so understandable as the family have larger income and fewer children. Actually the one that is interesting is that how come India with so low GDP percapita can have huge number of university students in USA.

Quite absurd that even Bangladesh and Nepal numbers are larger than Indonesia despite our GDP percapita is two and four times larger than those nations respectively.

Biggest Indonesian foreign students must be in Australia since it is closest Western like country to Indonesia, but we are still beaten by Nepal with very low population and GDP percapita.

Chinese and Indians everywhere. They should be restricted so their numbers match the others.

I don't mind Chinese people, but the West has stopped giving visas to Pakistanis. In contrast, Canada is being turned into Khalistan with the amount of Sikhs they are importing.

Go to Southall in London, Sikhs everywhere. I find them really odd with their headgear, really bizarre people. Indian Taliban I like to call them.
