What do you mean by foreign students?

Foreign students can also be called international students. Point out the students studying in China.

For a certain area, those whose household registration is not there are all foreigners. Foreigners who do not naturalize in China are foreigners. Students who are not naturalized in China are international students.

The term "overseas students" originated from the cultural exchange between China and Japan in the Tang Dynasty, and refers to Japanese students who stayed in China to study after sending envoys from the Tang Dynasty back to China. Now it generally refers to students who study or study abroad.

International students refer to students who are studying or have studied abroad. The word "international student" was coined by the Japanese.

In the Tang Dynasty, in order to absorb the advanced culture of China, the Japanese government sent envoys to China many times. As a diplomatic envoy, an envoy to the Tang Dynasty can't stay in China for too long, so it is difficult to better absorb China's advanced culture. Therefore, the Japanese government has sent "overseas students" and "returned students" at the same time since it sent Tang envoys for the second time.

The so-called "international students" are students who are still studying in China after sending envoys to China on the Tang Dynasty, while "international students" return home together when sending envoys to China.

Later, the term "international students" has been used all the time, and its meaning has also changed and developed: all students who stay abroad to study or study are called "international students".
