According to a senior US official, more and more US students will choose China to have their further study especially after the country has successfully held the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“The Olympic Games have allowed China to take its rightful place on the global stage and one thing we’ve noticed in the US is that increasingly more American students are coming to China to study,” US Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Goli Ameri said at a press briefing.

The American students choose China mainly for economic reasons. Smart American students understand very clearly that China is playing an essential role in the global economy. They are more confident for having studied in China and understand the Chinese culture and the language. Goli Ameri believed that American students learning more about China and coming to China is a real interest.

The number of US students studying in China increased fivefold over the past decade. China has become the seventh most popular destination for American students since nearly 9,000 US students were enrolled in programs in China in the 2006-207 academic year.

We believe that if this trend continues, China will soon surpass Western European countries to become the most popular study destination for American students.

The two sides of official from China and US signed a memorandum of understanding on a summer exchange program for undergraduate students from the two countries.

According to the MOU, each country will send 30 undergraduate students every year to the other country’s best universities. Students will attend lectures and meet important leaders and government officials.

This program seems symbolic but its purpose is for the future educational exchanges between US and China. Expanding educational exchanges is better for the bilateral relationship between US and China.
