I've heard it's very hard to get a tourist visa for CHina, for southasians, is it true?
Also, is china a popular destination for studying? I've considered many countriesd but can't find any o\info on china - which unis/colleges have many foreign students and is rankied high in the top 100 of the world?
For Pakistani, Not very difficult, check the world University ranking, you will find more information. HongKong is a choice but it very different from Mainland China.
