Before you go and while studying abroad, check the Ministry of Education’s study‑abroad warnings

出发前和在读期间,看一眼教育部的留学预警

Source cost

Nothing to pay. Check it once before departure and then once each semester.

Source return

The Ministry of Education issues specific warnings for certain countries or regions when recent safety conditions or policies there appear unfavorable to Chinese students. These are official, publicly posted risk notices that you can verify in writing — far more reliable than what any agency might tell you. Checking them costs nothing.

6. Before you go and while studying abroad, check the Ministry of Education’s study‑abroad warnings

Cost: Nothing to pay. Check it once before departure and then once each semester.

In plain terms: The Ministry of Education issues specific warnings for certain countries or regions when recent safety conditions or policies there appear unfavorable to Chinese students. These are official, publicly posted risk notices that you can verify in writing — far more reliable than what any agency might tell you. Checking them costs nothing.

Benefit: The Ministry posts study‑abroad warnings on its Overseas Education Supervision website. In 2025, four such warnings were issued. Warning No. 1 warned that certain higher‑education bills in some U.S. states contained provisions hostile toward China (April 9, 2025). Warnings No. 2 and No. 3 both highlighted the high incidence of cases involving Chinese citizens in the Philippines and an overall poor study‑abroad environment there (July 18, 2025 and August 30, 2025). Warning No. 4 noted deteriorating safety and study conditions in Japan, advising prospective students to plan carefully before going (November 16, 2025).

Evidence grade: A

Notes: These warnings are not outright bans; they simply provide an official basis for evaluating risk. They are updated as circumstances change, so this section is not kept current — always refer to the latest page on the website. For information on personal safety and consular assistance abroad, see Section 21.

6. 出发前和在读期间,看一眼教育部的留学预警

成本: 不花钱。出发前看一次,以后每学期看一次

说人话: 教育部会对某个国家或者地区专门发预警,说那里近期的治安或者政策对中国留学生不利。这是官方公开发布的风险提示,白纸黑字能查到,比中介的说法可靠。看一眼不花钱。

收益: 教育部通过教育涉外监管信息网发布留学预警。2025 年一共发了 4 号。第 1 号提示美国有关州通过的高等教育法案里含有涉华消极条款(2025-04-09)。第 2 号和第 3 号两次提示菲律宾针对中国公民的案件多发、留学环境不佳(2025-07-18、2025-08-30)。第 4 号提示日本治安形势和留学环境不佳,建议谨慎规划赴日留学(2025-11-16)

备注: 预警不是禁令,也不是说不能去,它给你一个掂量当地风险的官方依据。预警名单随形势变,本节不长期跟着更新,以网站上当期的页面为准。境外人身安全和领事保护见第 21 节。
