Abstract

Especially starting in the 2010s, China, Russia, and Turkey have become top destinations for Central Asian students, significantly surpassing all traditional Anglophone and Western destinations. In this article, these three countries are called the “triangle” countries, since they form a geopolitical triangle to Cntral Asia's east north, and west. They have achieved considerable success in increasing their internaional sudent numbers, but due to tremendous ongoing geopolitical changes, the future of this success is uncertain.
