attending universities in the United Kingdom will have more than doubled from the start of the decade, a report indicates.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Chinese-based digital marketing group Sinobris, the number of applications from Chinese students to undergraduate programmes will rise to 50,000 by 2030, compared to 21,250 in 2020.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure

as the rising number of middle-class parents in China who are looking beyond the rigorous education model in the communist country as well as the rising number of people aged 18-years-old, which is set to hit 16.5 million people by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom remains one of the top desired destinations for Chinese students, the report claims, due to the ease and speed at which degrees and doctorates can be obtained in concert with the prestige and good reputation of universities in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Sinobris predicted that approximately one in 700 Chinese people in their mid-twenties will have studied in Britain by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The expected influx of massive waves of students from Communist China comes amid increasing concerns over the connections between British universities and the so-called Middle Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the report, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Commons, Tom Tugendhat,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/number-of-chinese-students-set-to-soar-at-uk-universities-mbshdlrhh\">told<\/a> <em>The Times<\/em> that while he found it encouraging that there is such high demand for places in British universities, he warned that \u201clike any industry, we need to be careful that we don\u2019t become financially over-reliant on one country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDependency creates weakness,\u201d he added \u2014 a lesson some European economies which have been reliant on Russian oil and gas are currently learning to their cost in another area of politics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cambridge University, BBC Took Cash From Chinese Communist Party
