For Asians in particular, the family concept may undermine the attractiveness of Finland. Talking to Xinhua, Viljanen formulated carefully that "perhaps the issue should be investigated".
Finland has no such immigration program that would ensure permanent residency upon arrival. Most immigrants start with temporary work and residence permits. A loss of job could mean that the right of residence disappears.
Mikko Puustinen, a senior official at the Ministry of Economic Affairs, told the televised panel that the entry of more Chinese companies in Finland could possibly help the ways of finding employment. Puustinen is also the chairman of the Finland-China Association.
TUITION FEES
There is no factual information about the reasons for the decline in the number of Chinese students entering Finland. Petri Lempinen, the executive director for the Rectors' Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences, told Xinhua that the decline started in 2013 and appears not to be associated with the new tuition fees.
Lempinen speculated that competition from other international education providers could have affected, as well as development of institutes for higher education in China.
In 2017 Finland started charging students from non-EU/EEA countries who enrolled in programs where the tuition language is in English. Non EU/EEA students attending tuition in Finnish or Swedish continue free of charge.
