BEIJING - Chinese students are taking a wait-and-see approach toward studying in Japan because of fears about radiation and aftershocks following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck the country.

"Chinese students who are still in China and who have applied for students visas to study in Japan are showing the strongest hesitation," said an official surnamed Yanase who was manning a hotline at the Japanese embassy in China. "Among Chinese students who have been living in Japan for a while, the situation is better."

She said many Chinese students flew home after the March 11 earthquake and subsequent leak from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant but they have started to return to Japan to continue their studies.
