Many Chinese international students are no longer salty with American universities due to the influence from Covid-19 and stressed with double-sided relations.

Sharon Feng dreamed of being attended at a US Freedom Art School from age 15.

But in January this year, from his home in Ninh Ba port city, China, Feng decided to ignore the invitation to admission from the American school.

When Covid-19 complicated movements and Washington - Beijing relations are getting worse, the aura of American education is fading in China.

Candidates lined up into a test school on the first day of university exams in China on June 7.

According to the US Inland Security Ministry, the number of Chinese students and students in the government's government database has decreased by 20% from 2019 to 2020. Applications for admission from international students and students to come

According to some experts, the upper trend is only temporary due to pandemic.

Many Chinese families have changed their educational directions to their children, from preparing for the US exams to review for the high-level examinations in the country, additional teaching companies said.

Many educational companies have terminated the training classes taught by foreign teachers for the new government regulations issued.

Only two, three years ago, the fact that Chinese families sent children to American schools very popular.

The company's Chinese customers have decreased by about 1/3 of the translation.

Chinese youths began to go to the United States studying in the 1970s, but to the 2000s, this trend was really explosive.

For Chinese middle-class families trying to rise in the social hierarchy, the fact that children studying in the US are considered a symbol of status.

Everyone starts to observe around, seeing friends sending themselves to foreign schools and feeling he must follow, Andy Xiao, CEO of Tiandao Education Teaching Center, China, said.

The geopolitical stress between the US and China with the Covid-19 pandemic broke this bubble.

Sharon Feng, schoolgirl came from Ninh Ba port city, China.

People no longer talk about SAT or TOEFL, Xiao said.

Even before the translation, Tiandao has added advisers who have expertise on enrollment in Singapore, Canada or England, places where recent studies are over the US to become the top choice of Chinese students

Tiandao previously came about 5,000 students to the US every year but the figures are declining, especially at the university level, because the parents are increasingly concerned about the wave of Asian or Chinese post in the US.

Under President Trump, there are a number of serious cases that occur and even rarely in fact, they still affect the thoughts of parents, Xiao noted.

In May 2020, Trump signed a ban on US schools to receive students who were supposed to have a relationship with the Chinese troops, while recovering the visa of some students who were received before.

America can be good but today they are not really friendly with us, Jeff Ren, Master's graduate student from Hangzhou, said.

Because America didn't welcome us to study, we didn't need to try to do it, Ren said.

Feng while it was more regretful.

Like other high school students who determined to study abroad from the beginning, it was too late to Feng to consider applying to schools in China when the pandemic came.

When the parents pushed Feng Choose a school in Asia because he thought that the United States reacted too bad to the pandemic, she chose Hong Kong University, where there was also a gender, specialized research program that Feng liked.

As long as I learned the classes I wanted, I considered it as a good choice for the second, Feng said.

Chen Hongyan, 51 years old, advised her son, Tony Lian, applied to the Canadian or British schools last year but eventually forced to agree when Lian said he wanted to accept the offer from the University of Brown, the school

Chen, the owner of a family business and did not attend college, said she was surprised at what happened in the US, from the scene of storing crazy goods when Covid-19 outbreaks until the riots in the hill

It was not the United States I imagined, Chen said, adding that many of her friends turned their children to other countries to learn.

A few days before Lian departed, Chen was still worried.

We are just ordinary people.
