A total of 545,000 Chinese students studied overseas in 2016, while 443,000 international students came to China, up 36.2% and 35.1%, respectively. In addition, the country saw 433,000 overseas returnees in the last year, and they have become a major force that promotes China’s education, economy and culture.
