'Chinese students will not go there': Beijing education agents warn Australia

Chinese education agents say they will not recommend studying in Australia and have threatened to divert thousands of students to the UK as the sector reels from a dispute between Australia and its largest trading partner.

Austlink chairwoman Amy Mo, a Beijing education agent who has operated in the Australian market for 15 years, said the deteriorating relationship would bring "immeasurable economic losses to Australia"."If Australian politicians don't regret and keep being the running-dog of the United States in the name of so-called values, Chinese tourists and students will not go there," she said.

Chinese students account for about 60 per cent of international enrolments at the Group of Eight overall, including 69 per cent at the University of Sydney, 66 per cent at UNSW, 56 per cent at the University of Melbourne and 57 per cent at Monash University. They make up 37 per cent at RMIT and 53 per cent at UTS. Education agents are responsible for 73 per cent of Chinese student enrolments at Australian education providers.

Best news! The less contact in all arenas of international matters the better.

No loss, they lower the standards anyway.

Ok.

obviously US is not an option. so let's see, only canada ireland singapore left.

Time for academics to reform their corrupted institutions. Put some rigour and maybe even subject-verb agreement back into bachelor degrees. Wave goodbye to bloated over-management and millionaire vice-chancellors. Don’t waste this ‘crisis’. This cash-cow karma is good.

Well maybe it’s time we totally took the hit and realigned our values and stood true to them. We have relied on China too long and too much. Communism is to dictate. That’s not the Australian way.

You wouldn’t want to be an apartment owner renting it out in Melbourne

Jeez. How will Chinese “agents” mass producing fraudulent documentation and relationships for Chinese students in Australia to get permanent residency make their money now.

we shouldn't dependent on CCP for anything

Probably safer for us all, since CHINA is viral petri dish.

No worries, it’s not what the Chinese students tell us though. They’ll be back in their droves as they can’t wait to get out of China. Some will report back to the CCP, others will try and stay here and bring their family. We need to break the dependancy and seek new markets!

This proves that Chinese students have NO freedom to choose where to study

If students won't come here, our universities should go there. This would easy pressure on our already over stretched infrastructure and environment.

Where else they go then, Africa? Nowhere is better than Australia to study and to live.

Specsaver shares will plummet.

Feel free not to come

A couple of decades ago the government of the day turned just about every teachers college into a Uni. Then were made to be self sufficient. We can always return to the other model.

Anyone overseas can get an offer from AUS universities nowadays as long as he/she pays. No English exams required, no uni entrance exam required. Students pay sth like $50000 to secure an offer - so called university ready course. The unis suck big time. Time to focus on quality

The UK should make it clear they will not accept any Chinese students in support of Australia.

Oh dear. Vice Chancellors on +$1million packages might need to take a haircut.

I’m not surprised there goes our economy as we totally rely on Asian tourists and students

Will impact the rental market

What's an education 'agent'?....sounds like it augers well for our children who can now do joint assignments with other kids who can speak and understand English....this all seems like a good thing.

Good, it's time Australia weaned itself off Chinese money and Chinese influence.

Yes they will, Local students will tell their parents and friends in China that Beijing is talking BS

Great news! No more students from China .... Uni here should restructure with government support to make it more affordable for Australians ,

Start by building a sustainable domestic education market that our children can all afford to be a part of.

Chinese students are the losers and of course their government doesn't care about that.

Good. We might get a seat on the train.

Australian Universities can get back to looking after Aussies then.

Good news

Ok, and where will they go instead?

Best news I’ve heard.

Stay safe at home my Chinese friends.

Great time to clean the CCPBloodMoney out of all the corrupt Australian Universities lining their pockets and trampling on freedom of speech and democracy in Australia. disgraceful

Sad but time to restructure. They won’t be able to come here for some time anyway so time for a rethink in terms of offerings, diligence and rigour perhaps?

It’s a pity that the CCP caused so many problems for its people. Those students will miss out on the best education because of the CCP lies.

Lol you think!

Stay there then China chinaliedpeopledied

Well don’t come, pretty simple 😳😳

Good. It is a rort by Uni leadership to push people through for cash, no matter if they can hack it or not.

Australian universities urge students to do their own research, rather than heed China's racism warningInternational education experts say students are being used as 'pawns in a geopolitical game' after China warned students to be cautious about studying in Australia. Chinese see how the national broadcaster treats and vilifies white Australians. No wonder they dont want to come here. Let alone your racism against Russia. And bigoted treatment of conservatives. Yeah well Australian universities have been profiting off international students for years, absolutely bleeding them fucking dry of their money charging sometimes more than double the amount for a course and no option but to pay up front so what's new? A monument to poor policy, tear them down.

In terms of China it must always be ‘Australia first’ | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Alex Antic says Australia’s experience with China’s Education Ministry and Chinese students shows how reliant we are on China and “to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party”.\n\nThe Chinese Education Ministry has released a statement urging its students to “do a risk assessment” and strongly reconsider travelling to Australia to attend university.\n\nThe statement said the spread of the “new global pneumonia” has not been “effectively controlled” causing further risks to international travel and open campuses.\n\nSenator Antic told Sky News host Peter Gleeson it seems China has taken the view it’s going to put its “capital into countries which have signed up to the Belt and Roads Initiative” which means it has clearly “shown their hand in terms of their foreign investment”.\n\n“This is as much to do with strategic leverage and who (China) can use in order to influence, as much as it is to actually making a dollar.\n\n“For Australia’s point of view, its always got to be about Australia first, it’s always got to be about what’s in our national interest.”\n\nImage: AP\n rubbish, austraia already dancesto one tune one nations world agenda and that is the the stars and stripes No more Group work at uni will certainly be easier for the locals

China warns students about travelling to AustraliaUniversity leaders in the $19-billion sector were on Tuesday night scrambling to respond to the intervention. Guess the parliamentary China hawks Andrew Hastie & Kimberley Kitching will be cracking open the champers tonight. A Chinese exodus will create downward pressure on rentals & a labour shortage, forcing wages up, resulting in the resurgence of single income families with mothers at home bringing up their own kids. Where else will they go for education? Compete with 50x the number of applicants for positions in a country that cares only for the top elite back in China? Good luck with that.
