Abstract

With the trend of globalization, an increasingly amount of Chinese students entered U.S. seeking a better and quality education. However, the Covid-19 pandemic since the year of 2019 has significantly and negatively impacted Chinese international students’ study in the U.S., in addition to difficulties already in placed due to the cultural and societal differences. As the China-US diplomatic relationship intensified over the past two years due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, Chinese international students encountered tremendous international and external pressures and difficulties studying in and outside of the U.S. This study reviewed the studies and policies impacting Chinese international students experiences studying in the U.S. from the following aspects: (1) Sino-US relations, (2) U.S. policies of studying aboard, (3) external pressure: stereotype and prejudice, (4) internal pressure: culture shock and acculturation. This study will have implications for future studies that are interested in further investigating Chinese international students’ experiences of studying in the U.S. during the pandemic.
