What does Brexit mean for China?

Chinese students poised to benefit

Chinese students planning to study in the United Kingdom may gain some short-term benefits as a result of the country voting to leave the EU, according to overseas studies insiders.

Liu Fengjie, director of the UK division of Chivast Education International, a Beijing-based company that helps Chinese students to study overseas, said the students may find it cheaper to study in the UK and easier to work there after the Brexit.

"I also think that some people from EU member countries may leave the UK and their jobs there, which might provide opportunities for Chinese students seeking work," Liu said.

More than 450,000 overseas students went to study in Britain last year, with 130,000 of them from China, according to the British government.

He Chugang, general manager of the South China region at Amber Education, an overseas studies consulting agency, agreed with Liu that the cost of studying in the UK will be lower.

He was surprised by the high turnout for the referendum, adding that many features of the UK－its economy, culture and others－are closely connected with the EU.

"Leaving the EU is of no benefit for the country," He said. "Further effects on international education remain to be seen."
