Have you ever thought about moving abroad, for studying, working or living? In a world overwhelmed by the pandemic, global mobility has become a remote fantasy. 

But many people still dream of exploring various countries beyond their own.

China has increasingly become a preferred destination for students from all over the world. In 2018, almost 492,000 international students studied in China. This makes China the third most popular host country.

Asians represent a big portion of the international student population in China. According to official statistics, in 2018, 60 percent of the international students in China were Asian. 

Korea, Thailand, Pakistan, and India are the four countries with the largest number of international students in China. 

However Asian students are largely underrepresented in the public sphere. Foreign influencers who enjoy the most media exposure on Chinese social media are predominantly from Western countries.
