The surge in the number of African students in China is remarkable. In less than 15 years the African student body has grown 26-fold -- from just under 2,000 in 2003 to almost 50,000 in 2015.
來(lái)中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的非洲留學(xué)生數(shù)量顯著上升。在不到15年的時(shí)間里，中國(guó)非洲留學(xué)生人數(shù)增長(zhǎng)了26倍，從2003年的不到2000人增加至2015年的近5萬(wàn)人。

According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the US and UK host around 40,000 African students a year. China surpassed this number in 2014, making it the second most popular destination for African students studying abroad, after France which hosts just over 95,000 students.
據(jù)聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織統(tǒng)計(jì)研究所稱，美國(guó)和英國(guó)每年接收約4萬(wàn)名非洲留學(xué)生。2014年，中國(guó)超過(guò)這一數(shù)字，成為非洲留學(xué)生的第二大人氣目的地，僅次于法國(guó)。法國(guó)每年接收的非洲學(xué)生超過(guò)95000人。

African students in France overwhelmingly come from francophone West Africa. If Tsinghua's profile holds true for the larger African student body in China, it means China is an increasingly important player in the education of countries outside of West Africa.
法國(guó)的非洲留學(xué)生絕大多數(shù)來(lái)自西非法語(yǔ)國(guó)家。如果清華大學(xué)的非洲留學(xué)生情況能代表在中國(guó)的非洲留學(xué)生整體情況的話，那么這意味著中國(guó)在西非以外國(guó)家的教育領(lǐng)域扮演了越來(lái)越重要的角色。
