Economy

Posted by 佳信 Labels:

Nowadays China is one of the world's top exporters and is attracting record amounts of foreign investment. In turn, it is investing billions of dollars abroad. 
The collapse in international export markets that accompanied the global financial crisis of 2009 initially hit China hard, but its economy was among the first in the world to rebound, quickly returning to growth. 

As a member of the World Trade Organization, China benefits from access to foreign markets. But relations with trading partners have been strained over China's huge trade surplus and the piracy of goods. The former has led to demands for Beijing to raise the value of its currency, which would make Chinese goods more expensive for foreign buyers and possibly hold back exports.

Planning Your Study in China

Posted by 佳信 Labels:

Before planning your study in China, ask the following questions to yourselves:
China has a vast territory, with each city different characteristics. Cities in northern part are generally known as ancient cities, especially Beijing which has been the capital of the country for a long time; cities in southern part are yet all-inclusive, meeting the trend of the times. Coastal cities are vanguards of fashion; inland cities are quiet, keeping characteristics of ancient China. So, which one do you prefer, the city with ancient pavilions or the city with modern buildings?

What kind of environment do you like?


There are two types of universities in China: comprehensive university and professional university. Comprehensive universities have a wide range of disciplines, with tremendous strength in scientific research; Professional universities are generally proficient in certain disciplines and activities carried out by students are full of academic atmosphere. Which one do you like better?

China’s universities offer thousands of programs for foreign students. Non-degree programs teaching Chinese language and culture are particularly popular, but it is also possible to earn your degree in China. Most degree programs are taught in Chinese and therefore require a certain level of language proficiency. However, an increasing number of English-taught degree programs are available.

How much money are you willing to spend?

Compared to developed countries, the cost of living and studying in China is relatively low. Accommodation in Beijing is roughly 1500RMB-3000RMB per month. An average meal costs around 10-35RMB. The subway has a flat rate of 2 RMB and buses within the city are even cheaper. Smaller cities and those in China’s central and western regions are particularly inexpensive.


Degree programs are generally fixed: undergraduate degree programs last for four to five-years, master’s degrees for two to three years, and doctorate degrees for three to five years.
Language programs are mainly one-semester (4-6 months), one-year or short-term (anywhere from 1-8 weeks).


Degree programs: At most Chinese universities degree programs begin every autumn (September). A small number of programs can admit students during spring.
Language programs: the one-semester (4-6 months) language course usually opens in both semesters (starting in both September and February/March); the One-year language program usually opens during fall (September); the short-term courses may have fixed times or may arrange a time at the request of a group of students. Short-term summer programs have start dates throughout June, July and August, and last between 1-8 weeks. 


Note: Each program has a corresponding application deadline, applicants who submit their applications after this date will not be accepted. The schools usually require 4-8 weeks to process your application and to prepare your visa application form (JW202 form). Please do not forget to pay the application fee in order to ensure that you receive the School Admission Notice in time to apply for a Chinese visa so that you may enroll on time.
If you have considered these questions and known the answers clearly, then start to apply for studying in China.

Why Study in China

One of the largest emerging economies ensures you abundant job opportunities


Thanks to the economic growth, the opportunities for foreigners who want to work in China have increased considerably in the last few years. In 1996, there were 180,000 foreign workers registered in China and the number is rapidly growing.

Teaching English is one of the main job areas for foreigners in China, while there is also a growing demand for foreign experts in sales, engineering and management, etc. The current rise of China has made it very clear that people who can speak Chinese and have firsthand experience of living in China are going to have a great advantage in terms of employment.

Diversified cultures widen your horizon


The Culture of China is one of the world's oldest and most complex. You'll run into unique customs as you travel to different parts of China. Besides, everyday life, believe it or not, will be just as new and fulfilling. Living and interacting with local Chinese and immersing yourself in Chinese society will provide you with a new way of visualizing the world and give you the kind of insight that just doesn't come from textbooks.

Cheap living expense reduces your cost.


Although prices in China are rising, the cost of living here is still favorable compares to most industrialized countries. You will be amazed by how comfortably you can live and how strong your purchasing power is. You can afford a lifestyle you are unlikely to enjoy at home: get a housekeeper, travel every month, and enjoy frequent restaurant meals, massages, and nights on the town. Even wear tailor-made clothes!

Scholarships are provided to encourage you to do better


In order to strengthen mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese people and people from all over the world, and to develop cooperation and exchanges in fields of politics, economy, culture, education and trade between China and other countries, Chinese government has set up a series of scholarship schemes to sponsor international students to undertake studies and researches in Chinese institutions of higher education.

International students under Chinese Government Scholarship Programs will be allocated in Chinese institutions of higher education designated by the Ministry of Education of China. Various disciplines in science, technology, agriculture, medicine, economics, law, management, education, history, liberal arts and philosophy are available to international students in these institutions.

Vibrant campus life will be enjoyed with students from around the world


There are some noticeable aspects of campus life in China's universities. Almost all institutions provide food and boarding for students on campus, and consequently a typical student enrolled in a university lives in a dormitory room which she/he shares with from 1 to 7 people, and eats in the dining halls on campus.

The closeness of students as a result of their living environment—especially crowded dormitories and dining halls—has become the hotbed for the flourishing of entertainment culture as well as student organizations of all sorts on China's university campuses. Compared with former generations of university students in mainland China, students nowadays enjoy great freedom and diversity of activities both within and outside their campuses.
