China warns students about risks of studying in the US

Asian countries should support each other and make pan-Asia cooperation and exchange stronger & robust.

I have never understood as to why intelligent Chinese students would want to come to Australia, US and other Western countries for education? Except for handful of Universities, the educational institutions here are just average. The only thing these educational institutions have are better facilities maybe. So why do the Chinese students waste so much money on these degrees??

And I am sure that inspite of warning from Xi's china, Chinese students will queue in big numbers to get US study or any other visa. Only those will stay in China who has no option to escape.

Because there's ALWAYS been a limited supply of college level jobs compared to graduates in China and every advantage helps..and they can always work at an overseas job instead of at home in a factory.

Chinese graduates struggle to find jobs in slowing economy Beijing worried as effects of weaker growth and US trade war hit recruitment

Wang Xiangtong’s three-month stint as an intern with Hill & Knowlton Strategies in Beijing will end at the start of March.

But Mr Wang, who graduated from Scotland’s Glasgow university last year with a masters degree in management, still considers himself lucky to have had the experience. Most of the companies to which he applied in his native China didn’t reply to him.

“All of the positions I applied for are relevant to what I studied and I fit their job descriptions so I thought I’d at least get a reply from them. But many of them didn’t even give me an interview opportunity,” he said.

“There are more and more graduates with masters degrees and the market is only so big. We’ll have to put up a bloody fight [to get a job].”

China’s slowing economy and trade tensions with the US have hurt low-wage workers in the export industry. But the effects are now extending to graduates from top universities, said analysts. The problem is acute for those seeking employment with finance and tech companies, which have been cutting workers.

Another masters student at a top Beijing university said: “I feel the job market is increasingly narrow for students like me, given that a historical number of us are graduating. I also think employers have decreased or stopped hiring.” She cited a state-owned enterprise that last year recruited 10 students but this year was taking one.

Norman Zhou, head of recruitment process outsourcing for Korn Ferry China, a hiring agency, said: “As China’s economy goes through transition and faces downward pressure, companies now operate in a more uncertain environment and hire more conservatively from campus.”

Beijing is growing more concerned. In December, the government introduced new policies to help this year’s graduates find work. It also launched broad policies to stem lay-offs and made employment its top economic priority.

Officials from the labour ministry told state media that more measures would be launched, such as tax cuts for companies with few lay-offs. The official pointed to the “record number of graduates” — 8.34m, a 1.7 per cent increase on the previous year — as adding to the “large employment pressure” the country faced.

University graduates entering the job market in 2018 have been hit not only by the US-China trade war but also by stricter controls on financial institutions, which have led to a lack of capital in their preferred sectors of finance and tech.

A survey by China Market Research Group of around 40 graduate-hiring companies found that more than 80 per cent were not increasing their headcount compared with last year. More than half had decreased their openings, with banking worst hit.

“The banking sector was the one that hired the most people; now [the banks have] been hit by regulations [governing the finance sector] since last May, and they are automating more jobs,” said Cui Ernan, analyst at research firm Gavekal Dragonomics. “The impact on graduates has been big.”

Young people have been moderating their salary hopes as result. The average graduate salary expectation slipped by about 1 per cent to Rmb5,331 ($788) a month in 2018 from the previous year, according to job-hunting platform Zhaopin.

The downturn in tech and finance jobs is also part of a correction after recent exponential growth, analysts said, which was leading companies to be more cautious about adding to staffing levels.

“The technology space, especially online delivery services, has grown explosively in recent years but is now deteriorating because of a consumption slowdown,” said Charles Yue, economist at investment bank CICC. “There’s a lot of pressure in the high-end graduate market and on the overall labour market.”

Think of it not as an education but as an extended overseas vacation for the wealthy in the guise of an education.

Most of these Chinese students who go overseas are average students as they cannot secure seats in local universities which are extremely competitive. They think overseas degrees will get them better job/business opportunities in China - WRONG!

China warns students about risks of studying in the US

its a valid warning. Americans and any other western country that is heavily influenced by American policy, targets people of other countries that can include military attaches, students, tradesmen and immigrants to work as their agents to spread propaganda or spy on their own countries.

yep! People following this rich guy's lead of sending his daughter to useless Harvard instead of a quality local University. No local University probably wanted her.

Toilet paper money (dollars) are always being printed in the unaudited Federal Reserve, which is a jewish private bank. Over 2 trillion went missing from the Defense department, and the office studying where the trillions in toilet paper dollars went, was destroyed 'miraculously' by a plane hitting the offices doing the investigation; destroyed with the computers and the information (the drone 747-like planes that hit the twin towers hit offices that were investigating other zionist crimes - the aim of these drone aircraft was specific). And after 9/11, 'who cared' about 2 trillion+ missing (unaccounted for), what 'mattered' was a fake war on terror.

So toilet paper ($100 bills) finding their way into new Chinese student-spies' pockets from Uncle Sam, is nothing.

But why are the smart Chinese accepting toilet paper money?

How does the Federal Reserve get the wrong to be the world's reserve currency: petro-dollars and the if you threaten the petro-dollars... 'we'll bomb the sh*t out of you' foreign policy is proposed. The clown that is Washington.

Then briefcases full of toilet paper to bribe and sign up Chinese spies to work against the interest of the global community wanting peace.

Now you know why there was a secret deal to limit Chinese holdings of Gold reserves. And trump broke the Washington end of the bargain, and the vomit from Washington is Amerika is a ' (zionist oligarchy psuedo-) 'democracy'.

China has plenty of printers. They can offer two suitcases of Yuan for every suitcase of dollars.
