The number of students from Chinese mainland studying in UK higher education has more than doubled in the last decade. Commentators say however that recent tensions between China and the US are further benefitting British universities as Chinese students look at destinations other than America for their studies.

在过去10年里，在英国接受高等教育的中国大陆学生人数增加了一倍多。然而，评论人士表示，最近中美之间的紧张关系正使英国大学进一步受益，因为中国学生将目光投向美国以外的留学目的地。

These figures show we are making good progress in our ambition to open up world-leading higher education to anyone who has the potential to benefit from it and I'm confident that we can go even further."
