(ECNS) - More than 570,000 Chinese students went abroad for study in 2025, while over 535,000 returned to China, data from the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange under the Ministry of Education showed.
Earlier data showed that 495,000 students returned in 2024, up by 79,400 from the previous year, representing a 19.1% year-on-year increase.
The total number of Chinese students studying abroad exceeded 900,000 in 2025, according to data cited by the media.
The latest figures point to a sustained trend of large-scale outbound study, even as a growing number of students return to China after completing their education overseas.
