The Chinese Dream - Visa USA Expert

The Chinese DreamHu Jintao’s successor, President Xi Jinping’s grand vision of the Chinese Dream has become a driving force for China’s continuing reform and development. Many in the West wondered whether the term, the Chinese Dream, would take hold, and new research suggests that it has deeply penetrated the psyche of regular Chinese citizens.According to a survey of 500 Chinese, 500 Americans and 500 Britons by a research firm, the Chinese dream apparently trumps the others.Of the Chinese citizens surveyed, 70% said achieving the “Chinese dream” is personally important to them, compared with 65% of Americans and 39% of Britons for their respective national dreams.According to the study, many Chinese support the concept out of true belief or for pragmatic reasons, “because being in accord with the government is the best assurance of getting what they need.” As an international student interested in going abroad for your college, maybe you can pursue your own Chinese Dream by coming to the USA for your studies?Chinese Dream vs. American DreamThe Chinese dream differs from the American Dream in that it expresses China’s collective, Confucianism-based aspirations – “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” (in Xi’s words) – and it differs from the Chinese Dream in Chinese history because it embraces the personal dreams of individual Chinese people for attaining happy, healthy, abundant and productive lives. But many believe this Chinese Dream was simply an ambiguous term leaders began tossing around a few years ago when outlining a path to revive their country as a global economic and military power.But Chinese don’t view their “Chinese dream” as simply a copycat of the American dream, a term that was popularized in the 1930s and has been widely used in literature and pop culture to suggest success and prosperity.The American Dream is supposed to mean that through hard work and determination, even the poorest people can make it to the middle class or above in the USA. But did you know it’s actually harder to move up in America than it is in most other advanced countries?Studies show that most Americans born into the lower class stay in the lower class. This is because wealthy families are able to provide things like tutors and extracurricular activities, and they have the time to pursue them, and poor families do not.And this includes education.American proficiency in literacy, numeracy, and problem solving ranks as some of the lowest among developed countries, even though we have a relatively high level of education. So as Chinese are pursuing their dream I wonder if they will also begin experiencing some of the issues that are facing the USA as they pursue their dream?What does this mean for international students?The numbers show that it is not only optimistic, but realistic, that many Chinese and Chinese international visa students see their dream as a path to a more prosperous and equitable society, and an optimism about the future, the study said.This makes sense as China has made rapid progress in higher education in recent years. Last year, 9.15 million students took the national college entrance examination, out of which about 6.89 million got admitted to colleges.A large-scale increase in the number of seats in universities and colleges has raised the college admission ratio to 75 percent nationwide, providing greater opportunities to students to get higher education.So as you pursue your own Chinese Dream, I hope you consider coming to the USA for your college education.Check out the infographic and comment me here at gousavisacenter with your thoughts on the Chinese Dream and what it means to you as a student and possibly a future USA college student.Here is another opinion on the Chinese Dreamdocument.createElement('video');http://visausaexpert.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/The-Chinese-Dream-Book-Trailer.mp4 Go USA!– MikeAll information presented here is from my personal research and my attempts to save you time and money when pursuing your dream of coming to the USA to study.
