Chinese students poised to benefit

Chinese students planning to study in the United Kingdom may gain some short-term benefits as a result of the country voting to leave the EU, according to overseas studies insiders.

Liu Fengjie, director of the UK division of Chivast Education International, a Beijing-based company that helps Chinese students to study overseas, said the students may find it cheaper to study in the UK and easier to work there after the Brexit.

"I also think that some people from EU member countries may leave the UK and their jobs there, which might provide opportunities for Chinese students seeking work," Liu said.
