Every day I receive contacts from universities in the US expressing the desire to come to China to recniit students,said Frank Joseph, a commercial officer from embassy of the United States.One key reason why more Chinese students are able to study abroad is the economy: With China's boom within the past decade, more families have the financial wherewithal(资金)to send (heir children to international universities. There will be a total of 200,000 family-funded Chinese students studying overseas in , up 20 percent from last year, said Wu Zaofeng, deputy secretary general of China Education Association for International Exchange.International institutions, Joseph said, are also facing increasingly tough financial situation with a shortage of domestic students and a drop in government subsidies（补贴）.Students, especially in the US are paying high tuition fees and living expenses. Chinese students with money to spend, according to experts, can fill up the gap. Students on average spend 150,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan every year studying in US, according to statistics from the US Institute of International Education. During , there were approximately 81,000 Chinese students studying in the US, up 19.8 percent from .Representatives from approximately 60 universities from the United States are planning to arrive in Beijing this weekend to attract more Chinese students at this year's fair.

China's boom, the students' desire and foreign universities' commercial motiveC. that the students in China are becoming richer and richerD. that the students in foreign countries do not want to go to universitiesWhy are more Chinese students able to study abroad?A.
