美國國際學生人數銳減

The number of Chinese international students in the US saw its lowest growth rate in a decade - 0.8% - to reach 372,532 in the 2019-20 academic year, according to a report released on Monday.

11月16日發佈的《2020美國門戶開放報告》顯示，2019-2020學年，中國赴美留學生總數爲372532人，增長率僅爲0.8%，創十年新低。

China remains the top source of international students in the US, and students from China accounted for 34.6% of the slightly more than 1 million international students in the US during the 2019-20 academic year, said the 2020 Open Doors Report, compiled by the Institute for International Education.

這份由美國國際教育協會編纂的報告顯示，中國依然是美國最大的國際學生生源國，2019-2020學年，在美國超過100萬國際學生中，34.6%來自中國。

The report also shows that international enrollment fell 16% this fall at more than 700 schools surveyed. The flow of new international students into US institutions plummeted 43% from the previous year. Nearly 40,000 international students have deferred enrollment.
