A growing number of affluent Chinese individuals are choosing Japan as their new home, seeking a better life and escaping various challenges in China. This influx of Chinese migrants is impacting the luxury housing market and increasing competition for admission into elite international schools in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Factors driving this trend include dissatisfaction with life in China due to COVID-19 lockdowns, political tensions, the China-U.S. rivalry, and stricter business regulations. This migration wave includes not only the upper and upper-middle classes but also tycoons and intellectuals.

Private Schools in China Reevaluate Future Plans Following Disappointing Growth Results

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters

Shareholders of Dulwich College International, a British school with operations in China, are reportedly in talks for a potential sale of its Asia business due to the challenges faced by private schools in China's education industry. Dozens of international and private schools in China have been closing or merging as a result of tighter regulations, a slowing economy, and declining foreign student numbers. The expansion of privately run bilingual schools offering a western exam curriculum was hindered by new rules imposed by Beijing and the crackdown on private tutoring. The COVID-19 pandemic and slowing economic growth have further exacerbated the challenges.
