轉承詞

accessible and thanks to this millions of people all around the world have

obtained the opportunity to visit other nations the two biggest super powers in

the world today the United States and China compete in practically all areas

this includes economics military technology diplomacy and also an

education China's economic transformation from being an exporting

country to an economic superpower has also made strides in the education of

its population back in the 80s China only had a literacy rate of about

79% now their literacy rate is at an astonishing 99 percent the Chinese

educational revolution has been one of the largest educational projects in

history since 1998 China has invested massively in education nearly tripling

the share of GDP devoted to it in the previous decade the number of

universities in China has doubled and the number of students has increased

fivefold this revolution has caused the great change in the distribution of the

world population of university graduates for decades the US had the highest

proportion of people attending university they had been dominating the

graduate market reflecting this old supremacy among people aged 55 to 64

years old almost 1/3 of all graduates in the world's major economies are American

but that is rapidly changing among the younger generations in terms of Graduate

production China has outperformed the u.s. and the combined university systems

of the European Union nations today we will see the extent of Chinese education

in the world and we will also address the question whether the United States

could eventually give up its position as the main educational power in the world

today the student debt problem in the u.s. is so great that has reached a

whopping trillion dollars that equates to the entire GDP of Argentina Colombia

Ecuador and Peru combined most universities in the u.s. can easily cost

around 25 to 30 thousand US dollars per year and private universities can cost

much more so for most Americans in order to pursue their careers it's almost an

obligation to take loans or use their family fortune in order to afford their

education even for many American students it has been impossible to

attend university but curiously there have been many foreign students who are

willing in fact the majority of foreign students who study in the u.s. pay much

more than the average American student a foreign student could easily pay about

45 or 60 thousand dollars for just one year of education not even including the

living costs who could pay such high sums of money without the possibility of

working as the US doesn't allow it the answer is that the majority of foreign

students in the u.s. do not come from traditionally rich nations such as the

UK France or Japan the u.s. in fact has the largest population of foreign

students in the world exceeding more than a million the vast majority of

foreign students in the US comes from China which currently has 360,000

students followed by India with nearly 200,000 students these two countries

make up over half of foreign students in the United States with China taking up

more than 32% of the cake China has already become one of the largest

exporters of students in the world in France the Chinese are already the third

largest group of foreign students just after the Algerians and Moroccans the

same situation is reflected in many other European countries where China

already contributes the largest group of foreign students and this trend is not a

coincidence the enrichment of the Chinese population has motivated

families to send their children abroad especially recognized educational powers

such as the u.s. France Germany England and Australia it is not surprising that

the Chinese elite send their children to these countries and to their most elite

universities for example the only daughter of the Chinese President Xi

Jinping that at Harvard while Chinese students

represent 36 percent of foreign students in the US they only represent 1.2 4

percent of all students in the country an article this year declared that

foreign students contribute to more than 22 billion dollars to the economy of the

US universities with financial difficulties are actively recruiting

students from abroad and the number of first-year students in the US has almost

tripled since the recession of 2008 the increase in income seems to be a key

factor in hiring Chinese students which sometimes causes universities to choose

the financial benefits over academic integrity other countries such as France

have already taken steps to obtain some economic benefit from the vast amount of

Chinese students higher education in France is in fact free for both the

French and foreigners at least it was up until last year's education reform this

reform required new foreign students from outside the European Union to pay

between 3000 and 4000 euros per year this measure is practically designed to

do two things the first is to increase the income of French universities with

an increasing number of Chinese students with greater purchasing power but also

to reduce the number of students coming from the African continent that

currently represents 45 percent of foreign students in the country the

massive influx of Chinese students has filled public and private universities

in the US and this has motivated Ivy League American universities to open up

several campuses in mainland China China has also done the same but not with its

universities but with its Confucius Institutes all around the world

expanding and making known the Chinese language and culture this educational

and cultural exchange has been typically seen as a good thing during the last

decade however in recent years due to the rising tensions between DC and

Beijing between the two countries tech giants Apple and Huawei the expansion of

Chinese technology has taken its toll on the relations and sentiments of Chinese

students in the u.s. DC suspects that the Chinese government is using its

sponsorship of the Confucius Institutes to promote pro Chinese propaganda on US

campuses it would also be believed that there is spying being done on Chinese

students in the US with limiting effects on academic

freedom in the US Australia and other countries concerns have been raised

about whether Chinese students and researchers some of who apparently hide

close ties with the Chinese military and the Communist Party are using their

access to laboratories and research centers steal intellectual property or

patents in June of last year the u.s. shortened the duration of five-year

visas to one year for Chinese graduate students studying aviation robotics and

advanced manufacturing officials in the United States said that the goal was to

reduce the risk of espionage and theft of intellectual property in areas vital

to national security but now the Trump administration is considering whether to

subject Chinese students to further investigation before attending a school

in the US the Chinese government has repeatedly insisted that DC has

exaggerated the problems for political reasons the ambassador of China in the

u.s. states that their accusations to her China were unfounded and indecent

one of the attacked objectives of the government of the US where the Confucius

Institutes Chinese linguistic and cultural centers financed by the Chinese

government in some 100 American campuses the US government has accused the
