> According to the latest survey by the Institute of International Education sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the number of Indian international students in the U.S. reached 332,000 in the 2023-2024 academic year, surpassing China's 277,000, making it the largest foreign student group. The number of Indian international students increased by 23% compared to the previous academic year, while the number of Chinese international students decreased by 4%. This marks the fourth consecutive year of decline for Chinese international students and the first time in 15 years that they have been surpassed by India

The International Institute of Education, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, released its latest annual survey on the 18th, showing that in the 2023-2024 academic year, there are a total of 332,000 Indian international students studying in the United States, while the number of Chinese international students is 277,000. Compared to the previous academic year, the number of Indian international students increased by 23%, while the number of Chinese international students decreased by 4%. Public opinion has noted that the number of Chinese international students in the U.S. has decreased for the fourth consecutive year. The Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported that Chinese international students have long been the largest group of foreign students in the United States. In the 2019-20 academic year, there were 373,000 Chinese students studying in the U.S. However, since then, the number of Chinese international students has declined year by year, and in the data for 2023-2024, it has been surpassed by India for the first time in 15 years
