Sun said he thinks its important for American educators to realize that theres a generational difference between the current wave of Chinese students and the ones that came before them. Things have changed since when he came to the U.S. in the late 90s, when the vast majority of Chinese students were studying in funded spots at the graduate level. Now, many Chinese families can pay for their children to go overseas as undergraduates. “I hate to say this as a Chinese person, but with this massive increase in number [of Chinese students], there’s been a decline in terms of the quality,” Sun said. There are lots of exceptional Chinese students who are deeply committed to their studies, Sun said, but there are also a sizeable number who are here because it’s what their parents want or because they couldn’t get into a top Chinese institution. A very good research article.
