Indian Media: More Foreign Students Choose to Start Businesses in China
来源：中国日报网

India Times article, originally titled "China has increased the job options for international students", was published on August 7,2018. China has surpassed Britain and the United States as an increasingly popular destination for foreign students. Now, in order to make itself more attractive, China has added some incentives to make it easier for international students to start their own businesses in China.
The Chinese government has been exploring ways to allow international students in Beijing and Shanghai to work part-time or internship outside of school on condition that they get approval first - from their academic institutions and immigration authorities. In Shanghai, a pilot policy allows newly graduated international students to practice or start their own businesses in innovation zones two years after graduation. Thanks to such policy changes, China has received more Indian students than Britain. In 2016, there were 18 171 India students studying in China in India and 18015 in Britain.
According to a scholar from Renmin University of China, there is a growing demand for international students to apply for internships in order to seize the opportunities of rapid development in China. Thomas Linnett, an Australian student, said: "China is developing quite fast. Every day, innovative industries are emerging. I want to seize this growth opportunity and develop with China." Wang Huiyao, director of the Center for Research on China and Globalization, an independent think tank, said it would be wise for China to expand similar entrepreneurial employment opportunities more widely because they would revitalize China's labor force development. "With domestic companies expanding overseas, foreign employees can bring unique advantages," he said. It is logical that these graduates want to put what they have learned into practice.
When this decade began, China had not been noticed by most international students. Now, China is becoming more and more attractive to international students. As Maria Matai, head of MM Consulting, said, "Studying abroad from medical specialty is now expanding into engineering. We meet a large number of Indian students inquiring about computer science courses at Chinese universities." (Translated by Sheraja Nerakandan, Chen Yi)
 
 
印媒：更多外国留学生选择在中国创业
印度《印度时报》8月7日文章，原题为“中国增加了国际学生的工作选项”。中国超越英国和美国成为外国学生越来越钟爱的目的地。现在，为了使自己更有吸引力，中国又增加了一些甜头，让国际学生在华创业就业更便利。
中国政府已在探索允许北京和上海的国际学生在校外兼职或者实习，条件是他们要先获得批准——来自他们所在的学术机构和出入境管理部门。在上海，一项试点政策允许刚毕业的国际学生从事实习或者毕业两年后在创新区创办自己的企业。多亏这样的政策变化，中国接收的印度学生比英国还要多。2016年，印度有18171名学生在中国留学，而英国是18015名。
中国人民大学的一位学者表示，该校国际学生申请实习的需求越来越大，目的是为了抓住中国快速发展的机会。澳大利亚留学生托马斯·林奈特说：“中国发展得相当快，每天都有创新产业在涌现，我想抓住这个增长机遇和中国一同发展。”独立智库“中国与全球化研究中心”主任王辉耀说，对于中国来说，更加广泛地扩大类似创业就业机会是明智的，因为他们将使中国劳动力发展再次充满活力。他说：“随着国内企业向海外扩张，外国员工能带来独特优势。这些毕业生想把他们学到的知识付诸实践，这是合乎逻辑的。”
当这个十年开始时，中国还没有位于大多数留学生的雷达屏上。而现在，中国对国际学生的吸引力越来越强。正如MM咨询机构负责人玛丽亚·马塔伊所言：“从医学专业开始的留学现在正扩大到工程学领域，我们看到大量印度学生正在四处打听中国大学的计算机科学课程。”(作者谢拉贾·内拉坎丹，陈一译)
