Efforts to reduce UK universities' dependence on China have in some cases stalled or are going backwards, according to a new report led by former universities minister . UK institutions benefit from the higher tuition fees paid by Chinese students, while China has also become an increasingly entrenched collaborator on research, as well as a key source of doctoral students crucial to the strength of the UK's research system, the paper says. Sudden disruption to student flows and collaboration because of further geopolitical tensions with China would therefore be highly damaging for the UK's knowledge economy.
