Cost and safety have become comparative advantages for China in attracting international students, according to a report released by Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with Xinhua News Agency, on Saturday.
The report, titled "Study in China: Contributing to the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity," noted that China's competitive edge as a global education hub is becoming increasingly pronounced.
Currently, as the global standing and academic quality of Chinese universities ascend to the vanguard of international rankings, the overseas expansion of Chinese enterprises is creating abundant career opportunities for international students returning home, it said.
Moreover, the fiscal advantage of studying in China is substantial, with costs totaling less than one-third of those in Europe or the United States. When coupled with China's status as one of the world's most stable and secure nations and its commitment to a hospitable environment, these combined factors significantly enhance the global appeal and prestige of the "Study in China" brand, the report found.
