Sincethe landmark for the foundation of the Chinese modern humzn education system China has made tremendous strides in education both domestically and internationally. We wish to thank Richard Easterlin, Yang Yumei and one referee for encouragement and helpful suggestions on an earlier draft. Introduction China is known, acknowledged and revered because of its strong capitql ascension.

InChina became the second largest national economy and the second largest exporter. While achieving the title of economic superpower is impressive, combining it with the status of being a cocoon of innovation and information technology and of incubating human capital is even more striking.

Currently, China is spending, on average, more on research and development than any other major developed economy in the West.

It is becoming an attraction pole for expatriates and international students alike and a captal in producing scientific papers in natural sciences and engineering. Capitla its twelfth five-year plan for China reveals that it attempts to become by the world champion in science and research. This paper will document that China has made notable achievements in accumulating human capital.

We suggest that capacity building by internationalization is the core of the Chinese science policy. Investmwnt following section looks at China as a magnet for international talents.

Byuniversities had been founded in China Brandenburg and Zhu, Only colleges specializing in applied invesstment such as medicine and agriculture were spared as they were regarded vital for economic development Ouyang, Many universities were forced tiwns close between and Shortly after they were allowed to reopen, but the emphasis was to be on political studies rather than a standard college curriculum Zhang et al. Meng and Gregory studied the educational cost of the large scale school interruptions due to the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

Interestingly, these education responses do not appear to command lower earnings. While at each level of education attainment most of the cohort experienced missed or interrupted schooling, the authors find that, once they control for the education certificate attained, the impact on earnings of these missed innvestment of schooling or lack of normal curricula was small.

Human capital was deemed to be of paramount importance as education could turn China into a global, economic power. A two-way street approach was to be implemented: that of learning from the West and that of attracting the West to China.

In Chuna resumed the National College Entrance Examination, granting more people investmebt opportunity of higher education Mullins, All of which signaled a new phase in modern Chinese higher education. The Chinese government had also been encouraging students to study abroad, with the availability of various scholarships. However, recipients had to return to China after graduating and work for at least two consecutive years, or face a severe penalty.

In addition, the quota that stipulated the number of students studying abroad who financed their own studies and supported themselves was relaxed by the end of Still, using data on public expenditures on education as shares of Hmuan, Heckman found that China had only spent about 2.

The resulting ratio of annual investment in physical capital capiral human capital was much higher than in most other countries in the world. Nonetheless, China continued on its strategic course of expanding higher education as prescribed. Employing newly available Chinese micro-data Heckman and Li estimated the returns to college education in China in They find substantial heterogeneity in returns 3 to schooling: people sort into schooling according to their comparative advantage.

This uhman has become an empirically important phenomenon in modern Chinese labor markets. Moreover, the Chinese directive on education affected the education opportunities of various population groups and the labor market. Based on Census data, Li and Xing find that higher education expansion increased the probability of going to college for some groups. While minority females, those from the central-western region and from rural areas were less likely to benefit from it, one-child families were more responsive to this policy.

Education expansion decreased the within sector inequality of those with above high school inclusive education mostly because of the increase of the income level for high school graduates. Chinese and Western universities started cooperating, and a growing number of Chinese students went abroad to study. In the Chinese Government started offering scholarships to outstanding students who were financing their own studies Yao, By China had established educational relationships with countries and regions all over the world China Education Yearbookand agreements on the mutual recognition of academic degrees had been signed with 32 countries and regions in the world.

Further steps to strengthen international ties resulted in the establishment of Confucius Institutes, which are centers for the promotion of Chinese language and culture. By the end of Novemberthe number of such centers had reached and could be found in 84 countries and regions abroad, with 94 in Europe and 87 in America. China and the International Circulation of Students and Twnis Sincethe number of higher education institutions has increased from to more than 2, inaccompanied by an even more dramatic increase in student enrollment to 20 million in National Bureau of Statistics of China, Trends and Distributions of Chinese Students Abroad Depending on the type of funding they have, Chinese students studying overseas can be broadly put into two categories: those officially sponsored by the government and those who support themselves.

The first category chins be further divided into two groups: state-sponsored students, sent overseas by the Ministry of Education MoE ; and organization-sponsored students, supported by provincial governments or companies Yao, In the beginning of the opening-up reform era, most Chinese students overseas were officially numan, as they lacked financial resources to support their studies abroad.

However, the introduction of the loose policy in and the fast economic growth in the 21st century reduced limitations for self-supported students. In38, Chinese students4 went overseas. The majority of them were capita, Inthe number of Chinese students who inveshment abroad was ,; a more than a four-fold increase. Self-supported students accounted for a whopping The percentage of students receiving organizational support was 4.

With the year as the reference year, Figure 1 illustrates the overall number of Chinese students overseas since by type of financial sponsorship. While the number of self-supported students is 4 Note that we refer to students from mainland China; students from Hong Capittal are not included in any of the statistics on education.

However, the number of students supported by organizations is dwindling down hjman Humaan only has the number of Chinese students studying abroad increased, but Chinese students are now to be found in countries and regions all over the world MoE, n. While their preferred destinations vary with time, they mostly capitxl Western countries, especially English-speaking ones.

The USA is by far the most popular destination for Chinese students. In terms of china twins human capital investment numbers, in, Chinese students went abroad cjina tertiary education. Out of the five preferred destination countries, higher education institutions of the USA alone receivedChinese students, followed by Australia 57,the UK 45,Germany 21, and France 20, That makes about So Chinese students are largely in the USA, but among the foreign students they have their strongest relative presence in Australia.

While the flow of students to the USA has remained almost constant, there has been a rapid ten to twelve-fold increase of students going to capitall UK, France and Australia. The impressive increase in the number of students humxn to the UK reached a maximum in ; it has been slowly decreasing since. Nonetheless, the UK is still a favorite destination because of its — perceived by the Chinese — prestigious and high quality education. Second, Figure 2 shows that the number of students going to France has followed an impressive up-sloping curve: while only 2, Chinese students chose France in12, went in and 21, in Burgeoning bilateral agreements between French and Chinese institutions and universities to support the international exchange of students between the two countries have certainly contributed to investmwnt trend.

Australia is the present and future favorite of Chinese students, as flows have been rising steeply since Lastly, the promising rise twims the number of students going to Germany has been short-lived. Undoubtedly, the number of Chinese students enrolled in tertiary education in Germany has tripled from to
