Found some handy data on the numbers to China. ---start--- BEIJING:Pakistan ranks third in the number of international students currently studying in China with 28,023 students, according to a statement issued by China's Ministry of Education. South Korea ranked first with 50,600 students...

Japan had 312,000 for 2019. Your source is incomplete.

Well if it was more than 2 million USD in recent years, I'm sure you would post it.

Lots of things might happen. We might even stop posting on PDF :-)

In their situation, who could blame them. By the way, Japan gave the Ukraine financial aid because of the division caused by 2014 Russia conflict. In 2018, Japan gave 3.6 million USD. In 2019, Japan gave 2.8 million USD...

Well if you looked at the link, you would see over 300,000 study abroad students for 2019. Despite the claim of "Japan in decline" the number of student abroad students has rising sharply. Probably because of things like Japan shifting some companies out of China and to other places such as...

Hehe :-)

Good for her. Every thing doesn't have to be from favor of japan. Ukraine has a very poor economy and they need to get assistance where ever they can. Might get interesting if asking which part from the Ukraine. If she is from the eastside that typically votes for Pro-Russian candidates in...

With all the fake MSM and politicians going around but "University rankings" are definitely accurate? Besides, in most fields, its the students will that influences their studies outcome the most. Bill O'Reilly went to Harvard. Is he really top ranking university quality?

At the risk of turning data on study abroad students into a politic tool by posters on PDF ( :rolleyes: ), here is some data about study abroad students in Japan for fiscal years 2018 and 2019. 2020 and 2021 data naturally would have to wait (unless one wants to rush data for propaganda...

If that was so, then the PRC would feel no need to each passing day make threats to Taiwan and Taiwan would willfully unify with the PRC. But that's not the case.

Again, Taiwan was not part of the long history of China. It was never part of the old Han dynasties like Hong Kong was. Even the Europeans from the other side of planet got to Taiwan before and Han dynasty set up any level of jurisdiction on there. And the Qing only got there because it went...

Yanbian.. a place with 2,200,000 population but with only 30% Korean ethnicity. Yeah sure.. :-) That makes only 750,000 Koreans. The CCP government probably can't wait until it gets the 15 million Uyghur population in Xinjiang down to 750,000 and then slab "Autonomous" on the cover of it while...

In the present and the past, there are lots of these "can win/lose in 3 days". Why keep playing dumb? Because its convinient...

The PLA Navy and PRC coast can present a strong force inside the Taiwan Strait but they'll still be unable to successfully maintain a blockade around the full island of Taiwan. And PLA naval vessels that try to venture through the south Okinawa islands and into the east side of Taiwan would be...

Well coming in addition to what the real and full circumstances that makes "aggressive" an exaggeration.. more points to consider. The KMT apparently had some major recruitment issues for the war against Japan: This was a deadly affair in which men were kidnapped for the army, rounded up...

Good post. By entirely avoiding going into the history and trying to make some sort of rebuttal, that means defacto agreeing with the contents of the post, even though you don't like it.

Dropping the 9 dash line claim all together might be too drastic. And even if the PRC did, so much distrust and military posturing momentum response from the surrounding countries has been built up that it'll take about 5 or more years until surrounding countries may actually start to think that...

"Japan launched aggressive war" is an exaggeration. During the late 1910s and 1920s, Manchuria was run by the Fangtian Clique. And Japan supported this clique. The Fangtian Clique formed a natural buffer with the Soviet Union. Japan signed up to the 9 power treaty to respect "China"s borders...

Japan strategy these days is to have many international partners. They are always ready to accept more members into the TPP. Most of South East Asia seems a little concerned about the tensions between the US and China because they don't want to become a proxy battle zone between the two. So in...
