Abstract
China has edged into the top 10 international student receiving country in 2011. The rapidly increasing inflow is greatly attributed to the striking economic growth and great development of higher education in China over the past 30 years. The study examines a few typical economic and educational determinants to find out what factors significantly affect the inflow of international students to China. A multiple regression method is used. The finding show that China’s R & D expenditure rate of GDP, China’s tertiary school enrolment rate of gross, and discrepancy in GDP between China and other 10 largest sending countries are main determinants of international student inflows. However, the number of Institutions in the World Top 500 University Ranking has, surprisingly, the smallest influence on international student mobility among all the explanatory variables. It means that international students coming to China largely due to the rapid economic growth rather than the reputation of Chinese universities.
