After two years of being almost completely closed off, direct flights and student flows are beginning to resume after officials announced “all students” would be welcome back to China.

There are hopes that a plan to allow international students back into China has been made, as a cohort of Thai students have reportedly “arrived in Shanghai”.

As of March, China is now the only country that is actively banning international students from entering its borders, according to agency China Admissions - with students across the globe waiting up to two years to go back.
