Fewer graduates from China's top two universities－Tsinghua University and Peking University－have chosen to continue their education abroad in recent years, according to data from the two institutions.
清華大學和北京大學的數據顯示，近年來，中國這兩所頂尖大學的畢業生選擇出國繼續求學的人數有所減少。
Tsinghua University said 15.3 percent of last year's graduates went abroad to study, down 1.2 percentage points from 2018 and 1.7 percentage points from 2017.
清華大學表示，去年15.3%的清華畢業生選擇出國留學，比2018年下降1.2個百分點，比2017年下降1.7個百分點。
It added that the figure has continued to fall this year, without providing details.
清華大學補充說，今年這一數字繼續下降，但沒有提供細節。
Meanwhile, it said that 29 percent of last year's graduates have chosen to continue their studies at domestic universities and research institutes, compared with 28.5 percent in 2018 and 2017.
與此同時，清華大學稱，去年29%的清華畢業生選擇在國內大學和研究機構繼續深造，而2018年和2017年這一比例為28.5%。
Graduates who have chosen to work after graduation preferred Chinese State-owned enterprises and private firms rather than foreign companies, said the university.
清華大學表示，畢業後選擇工作的畢業生更喜歡國企和私企，而不是外企。
Last year, 33.4 percent of Tsinghua graduates who joined the workforce opted for Chinese private enterprises, 31.3 percent went to SOEs and only 5.2 percent chose foreign companies, a situation which has remained relatively unchanged for the past five years.
去年，在清華大學畢業生中，有33.4%的人選擇了中國的私企，31.3%的人選擇了國有企業，只有5.2%的人選擇了外企，這一情況在過去5年裡基本沒有變化。
The university said more graduates preferred SOEs and Chinese private enterprises rather than foreign ones because domestic companies have enjoyed rapid development and have a greater demand for talents.
該校表示，由於國內企業發展迅速，對人才的需求更大，更多的畢業生更青睞國有企業和中國民營企業，而不是外企。
Data from Peking University showed a similar trend, with fewer graduates choosing to continue their studies abroad.Last year, 14.8 percent of graduates from the university chose to study abroad after their graduation, down from 15.2 percent in 2018 and 15.6 percent in 2017.
去年，北京大學有14.8%的畢業生選擇畢業後出國留學，低於2018年的15.2%和2017年的15.6%。
