China Daily last year wrote that 75% of Chinese university students that go overseas to study do not return to China to work. Also in the article it was reported that the Chinese government wants to send more overseas as they realize that China needs more foreign educated students than the numbers that are now returning to China to work. So it is a numbers game. For example if a 1000 students go overseas to study and 250 return. They know that is not nearly enough we will send 2000, 3000 or 4000 or what ever number it will be, so that more will be more foreign educated people working here in China in the future. It is a numbers game. The more you send the more that will return.
