原作者 Sha Hua, Karen Hao and Melissa Korn
以下文字为节选从申请美国学生签证的中国学生数量看，2022年上半年（1到6月）的人数比疫情前的2019年减少了超过50%；事实上，从2020年开始，中国去英国留学的总体人数超过了去美国留学的人数。
The number of U.S. student visas issued to Chinese nationals plunged by more than 50% in the first half of 2022 compared with pre-Covid levels, with the U.S. losing ground as the most-coveted place for Chinese students to pursue higher education abroad.
美国国务院数据显示，2019年1到6月美国发放给中国籍F1留学签证的数量是64261，2022年同期下降到了31055。
In the first six months of 2022, the U.S. issued 31,055 F-1 visas to Chinese nationals, down from 64,261 for the same period in 2019, according to data from the U.S. State Department.
根据美国门户开放报告，疫情前，中国留学生每年贡献给美国的外贸收入为159亿美金。
In the 2019-20 academic year, before the pandemic depressed study-abroad numbers, Chinese nationals accounted for 35% of foreigners studying in the U.S. and contributed $15.9 billion in economic value, according to numbers tracked and aggregated by the Institute of International Education’s Open Doors report.
所以留学生人数的减少，对于学校来说，造成了比较大的收入上的打击。

当然影响中国学生留学目的地改变的原因有很多：有疫情，有美国的政策，有感性，也有理性... 下图总结了下最近几年的留学走势
