The reason is that China's domestic economic development is relatively good which is the primary reason for returning to China for development， with a 59% response ratio; China's domestic entrepreneurial environment is good (with a 56% response ration) ; it is convenient to reunite with family and friends (with a response ratio of 52%), while The attraction of China's domestic talent policy (with a response ration of 51%) is also an important reason why more than half of the international students choose to return to China for opportunities.

Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that (Chinese) parents certainly want their children to be better at independent thinking and open-minded, which is what their generation lacks. The idea of ​​Chinese parents wanting their children to return to China is also rooted in traditional Social Values.

The report pointed out that the four traditional study abroad countries of the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia are still popular, and other European are also in the selection range, showing a diversified trend of studying abroad. With the increasing number of Sino-foreign cooperative education programs, choosing an international school in China has become a new trend.

From the perspective of the content and form of international education, the integration of Chinese and Western will be the main trend in the future. Specifically, Chinese, and Western integration includes the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, courses, teachers, and teaching methods.
