Foreign student enrollment rates in China are recovering post-pandemic, driven by rising demand from Asia and Africa as students are drawn by lower costs, scholarships and shifting global dynamics.
I think part of it is the disillusionment of us Americans with the USA. I grew up being proud to be a citizen of the USA. The more I learned of our true history, the more I grew up, the slipping quality of life - the huge issues we have with healthcare, infrastructure, income inequality and ineffectual government … All of that seems at least less bad in China.
Now, I’m not gonna glaze China - that country has plenty of its own problems. However, they at least seem to be embracing emerging and mature green energy tech, are not on an anti intellectual path and have a functional government (which is not to say I don’t have plenty of problems with China). Also they seem to be less interested in killing people for … Reasons? … Vs the USA who conducts diplomacy by violent means as the normal course.
Anyways yeah I guess China just seems like a better place than the USA right now but you could level plenty of valid complaints at both countries.

But that’s not because China got better.
