Coolio, but realistically long term, US will be still top with India next, then EU and then China.

> You look in ANY American colleges, you will find "East Asians" a lot even more so in Ivy Leagues.

Why are they in US instead of China?

Why are they in US instead of China

because the US still has the reputation of better higher education. but also, many of the chinese students will go back to china and bring their experience with them. this will benefit china, but also the experience of living in a foreign country will promote a better understanding between china and the US and create a better future for the world

That’s old data. China’s GDP is larger than that of both the EU and India.

The college numbers have been changing too https://www.axios.com/2023/05/08/chinese-students-us-educati...

This is only true if the EU is not fucked by the gulf stream shutting down.

That was considered a remote possibility a mere decade ago, but nowadays some scientists consider it more likely than not.
