Studying abroad has always been called "Runxue", but in recent years, more and more international students have chosen to return to China for development. This has led people to think about the end point of "Runxue". According to the 2023 Employment Development Report for Overseas Talents, 8421% of overseas students choose to return to China for employment. This trend is a clear indication of the increase in the return of international students. This article will explain why international students ultimately choose to return to China for development, and the challenges they face in returning to their home countries.
In recent years, more and more international students have chosen to return to their home countries for development. According to the 2023 report, the number of international students in the UK returning to China for development is the largest, accounting for more than 40%. This is followed by Australia, the United States, Malaysia, Japan and Singapore. The reason why international students choose to return to China for development is based on a variety of factors. 58% of international students think that life in China is more convenient, and 40% agree with the cultural environment in China. In addition, 32% believe that there are more job opportunities in the country, and they have confidence and expectations. At the same time, the domestic demand for overseas talents is also increasing, and some positions are even specially marked to give priority to recruiting overseas talents. Therefore, China has become an important factor in attracting international students to return.
Although it is a trend for international students to return to China for development, they are also facing many challenges and pressures. The 2023 report shows that 90% of international students feel great pressure to find employment. They found that domestic competition had become more intense and jobs were relatively limited. Compared with domestic college students, international students often bear a greater burden, because their cost of studying abroad is higher, and if the salary does not meet expectations after returning to China, they cannot return to their capital, and they lose the meaning of studying abroad. In addition, the increase in the number of returnees has also made the personal advantages of international students no longer prominent, and the salary level has also shown a downward trend, which is in stark contrast to the expected salary. In the face of these difficulties, international students invariably choose to pursue stability and enter the system as much as possible, and the civil service examination has become their first choice.
Despite the challenges faced by international students returning home, they still have an advantage. 80.85% of HR experts consider study abroad experience to be a plus, while 1015% of the positions are given priority to international students. The average annual salary of international students is also 3290,000 yuan. The bonus of studying abroad is not only reflected in the money, but also in the key role played by international students in their careers. The study abroad experience makes them competitive in project management, organization and coordination, and problem analysis, and gains practical experience and the positive impact of studying abroad on work and life.
As the trend of international students returning to China becomes more and more obvious, the end point of Runxue is no longer just to stay overseas, but to choose to return home. Although there are many challenges and pressures in choosing to return to China for development, the dividends and advantages of studying abroad still exist. The study abroad experience has become a competitive and plus point for international students, and the salary level is relatively high. Despite the fierce competition, international students strive for stable employment opportunities, especially in the system and in the civil service. The trend of international students returning to China will continue, but they also need to focus on improving their competitiveness and adapting to the domestic employment environment.
As a knowledgeable editor, I deeply feel that there is a growing demand for overseas talents in China. With the trend of international students returning to China, I see many opportunities and challenges. The study abroad bonus gives us an advantage in the job market, but at the same time, we also need to face fierce competition and a difficult job search. Returning to China for development is not an easy road, and we need to work hard to improve our comprehensive quality and adaptability. More importantly, we need to recognize the reality, face the employment pressure rationally, and make wise choices for our future. Through continuous learning, Xi and improvement, we can take solid steps on the road to return to China and make positive contributions to personal growth and the development of the country.
