US President Donald Trump's arrival in the White House and Brexit in the United Kingdom have not lessened the appeal of these countries among Chinese students choosing an overseas education destination, according to a new report.
一份新报告显示，美国总统特朗普入主白宫与英国脱欧都未能影响中国留学生在选择海外留学目的地时对这两个国家的热情。
A survey of 6,217 students who plan to study abroad, or their parents, found that the United States
remains the top choice, with 50 percent preferring the US, up from 46 percent last year.
It is the third
consecutive year the country ranked No 1 in the annual Report on Chinese Students' Overseas Study, the latest of which was released on Tuesday.
The UK, which voted to leave the European Union last year, was the second-most popular destination, as it has been for three years.
The survey, by Vision Overseas Consulting Co and Kantar Millward Brown, was conducted in over 40 cities in February and March.
Some of Trump's policies, including visa
restrictions, are thought to have influenced international students and
prospective immigrants. In a survey by five US higher education associations in February -- covering around 250 US colleges and universities -- 38 percent reported a drop in foreign applications for the fall 2017 term -- Middle Eastern students down the most -- The Atlantic reported on Saturday.
