The number of Chinese students in Australia is soaring, and the number of international students in Australia has reached an all-time high.
The number of Chinese students studying in Australia is reported to have surged again. According to statistics, the largest number of foreign students are Chinese. In the first two months of this year, one hundred and seventy three thousand Chinese students poured into Australian universities, according to the latest figures.
At present, the Australian university`s international student business is booming, has reached the record level.
Figures released last week showed that in the year to February, the number of international students had risen 12 percent year on year to more than five hundred thousand students studying in Australia.
According to reports, Education Minister Simon Birmingham said the business of international students continues to grow.
While the number of permanent immigrants remains unchanged and calls for a reduction in immigration quotas are growing, the number of international students and overseas tourists has risen sharply.
Treasury Secretary Scott Morrison defended immigrants against calls by Tony Abbot and Peter Dutton to cut immigration quotas. Australia`s economic growth will be severely damaged if immigration is not maintained, according to an government note.
Morrison also noted that temporary tourists and students are the cause of more congestion in public transport, not permanent immigration.
"if you`re on a bus, a tram or a train, you`ll see that there are more people studying and traveling on the bus," he said in an interview.
