Education is now a burden for going abroad
First, after 2015, Chinese customs will not let you leave. The so-called “preventing the outflow of technical personnel,” and in line with the government’s consistent approach, the grassroots level will carry it out even more strictly—master’s degree and above? Don’t even think about it.
Second, even if you manage to immigrate, it’s hard to find a job. It’s not because the economy in Europe and the U.S. is bad—most countries in Europe and the U.S. currently have at least better economic conditions than China.
The main factor is politics. For master’s and PhD holders trained in China, a security background check is the default requirement. Employers have no reason to take risks.
Even if you come to study in Europe or the U.S. for a bachelor’s degree and then look for work afterward, you still need to go through it—only with fewer steps.
Ironically, the lower your education level is, the higher your tolerance for going abroad. No developed country refuses blue-collar workers.
Whether to attend university in China or not is, in the future, a difficult multiple-choice question.
