- Abstract
As the largest number of international students in the United States, Chinese students encounter certain difficulties. This paper mainly discusses the education inequality and difficulties encountered by Chinese students in the United States to understand the current situation of Chinese students there. According to the survey, the following six main points were documented: a) language barrier: many Chinese students fail to succeed in academic writing; b) cultural differences: like differences in food and differences in thought and behavior; c) racial discrimination: many Asians encounter racism to varying degrees; d) stereotypes: for example, most Americans think Chinese people are nerds; e) social reproduction: inequality in education caused by the gap between rich and poor, and f) parents’ performance: teachers’ misunderstanding of Chinese parents due to cultural differences. This article explores some of the problems Chinese students, and provides corresponding suggestions to solve these problems.
