Meanwhile, there are about 200,000 Chinese studying in Europe and those graduates are also facing difficulties to find a job opportunity.

Li Weifang, a Chinese graduate in business economics at Belgium's University of Leuven, said that she is skeptical about opportunities at home and abroad.

"I heard that the job market in China is also tough, and I'm not sure how much they will appreciate my overseas degree and experience," said Li.

But for her, finding a job in Belgium is even harder because many companies here require Chinese candidates to speak fluent French or Dutch, in addition to English.

"The language barrier stops me from getting too many opportunities, even though some companies are keen on finding a Chinese person to explore the Chinese market."
