Abstract

The United States has seen a dramatic rise in the number of Chinese students studying on its campuses over the past ten years. However, the ravaging pandemic across the United States, hostile visa policies toward Chinese students, and the constant xenophobic rhetoric of the Trump administration may soon reverse this trend significantly. The interest in an American education among Chinese families is still there, but impacts may be long lasting.
