中国驻澳大利亚大使小强敦促阿尔巴内斯政府放松对中国学生和学者的签证限制, 要求增加学术交流与流动性。 China’s ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, has urged the Albanese government to ease visa restrictions for Chinese students and scholars, calling for increased academic exchange and mobility. 他强调了中国学生在澳大利亚530亿美元的国际教育部门中发挥的强大作用,这占了澳大利亚国际学生人口的22%。 He highlighted the strong role Chinese students play in Australia’s $53 billion international education sector, which accounts for 22% of its international student population. 尽管对国家安全和外国影响感到关切,但澳大利亚实施了80%的入学率上限的“缓慢”签证政策,但尚未颁布学生总上限。 Despite concerns over national security and foreign influence, Australia has implemented a “go slow” visa policy at 80% enrollment caps but has not enacted a total student cap. 由于澳大利亚学位的全球声誉和中国高中毕业生的预期增长,中国学生的需求仍然很高,尽管来自其他亚洲国家的竞争日益激烈。 Demand from Chinese students remains high due to the global reputation of Australian degrees and a projected rise in Chinese high school graduates, though competition from other Asian nations is growing.
