US universities have recorded declines of at least one-fifth in the number of new Chinese students this fall.<\/b>
\nIn nearly a decade, US universities have experienced a boom from Chinese students. This trend is, however, changing because US universities are experiencing sharp declines based on factors, such as the political tensions, instigated by the US-China trade war<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chinese students affected by trade conflicts<\/b><\/h2>\n

Observers and administrators in US universities have expressed their concerns about the detrimental effects instigated by the US-China trade conflicts.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe situation has become dire to the extent that visiting Chinese students are treated as though they pose some security risks. As a result, visa complications have become inevitable for these learners.\u00a0<\/b>
\nAdditionally, international competition in the education sector has risen at an alarming rate. This factor has also propelled the declining number of Chinese students in US universities.\u00a0<\/span>
\nChina has also been undertaking incredible steps to propel its higher education system, making students from this nation prefer it to the American one.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

US universities crafting new strategies<\/b><\/h2>\n

Many US universities are not oblivious to the fact that the number of Chinese students they enroll will continue dwindling because of uncertainties, such as the US-China trade war.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAs a result, they have come up with new strategies such as undertaking intensive recruitment drives in various parts of the globe.

\nNotably, this learning institution recorded a drop in Chinese students from one hundred and ten (110) to seventy (70) this fall.\u00a0<\/span>
\nOther US universities reporting considerable drops include the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Vermont with a twenty percent (20%) and twenty-three percent (23%) decline respectively.\u00a0<\/span>
\nChina has been the primary contributor to international students studying in the US. Its three hundred and sixty-three thousand (363,000) student population depicts one-third of all foreign students.\u00a0<\/b>
\nRealistically, <\/span>Chinese students are continuously <\/span>avoiding US universities<\/span><\/a> and heading to other countries to obtain higher education. And all because of the trade war between the US and China.<\/span>
\nOn the other hand, the US-China trade war has not been detrimental to Bitcoin\u2019s value. Expressly, the increasing political and economic tension between the United States and China has led to <\/span>a steep increase in Bitcoin value<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
