China is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.428 billion.

China offers world-class education, affordable tuition fees, modern campuses, advanced research facilities, and globally recognized degrees. It is especially popular for Medical & Health Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Business, Economics & Management, Computer Science & AI, International Relations, and Social Sciences & Humanities programs.

The Chinese government has made significant investments in higher education infrastructure and research, making Chinese universities highly competitive globally. Many universities offer English-taught programs across various disciplines, eliminating language barriers for international students.
