Overview of China
China is the largest country in the Asian continent and one of the growing superpowers in the world. China is also in the top economy with an enormous growth when compared with many other countries. The Chinese language is the oldest written language in the world with at least six thousand years of history. English is the largest language in the world, if you count both native and non-native speakers. If you count only native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the largest spoken language in the world. There are also quite a huge population of students doing MBBS in China.
History of China
China has its deep roots in communism and still remains as one of the largest communist states in the world. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was formed in 1921 to promote revolution based on Marxist principles. Under Mao’s leadership, the Chinese Communist Party established rural (as opposed to urban) vases and began mobilizing farmers. The CCP gained strength by calling for united resistance against the Japanese and by experimenting with land reform and other policies to ease the plight of the peasants.
After the end of WWII with the defeat of Japan in 1945, a civil war continued between the Nationalists and the Communists over the right to lead China’s political and economic development and reestablish China’s position in the world. On October 1, 1949 the Chinese Communist Party, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, proclaimed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Nationalist government evacuated to the island of Taiwan, where it established the Republic of China (ROC). The CCP still holds the ruling power in China.
Every year a huge population of International students graduate MBBS in China. China is one of the countries where Indian student population is very high. Most of the students attending their FMGE would be from China on a percentage basis.

Disadvantages of Studying MBBS in China
- Climate
- Language Problem
- Very Low FMGE Pass Percentage
- Politics
Climate
China is a large nation and it has a climate which is diverse throughout the country. Most of the country is usually cold most of the year. The average temperature of the country lies between (-13C to 25C).
So the students who want to study MBBS in China must do several research about the location of the college before pursuing their MBBS degree in China.
Language Problem
Language is the key to communicating with other people in foreign countries. In China very few people know English language. To communicate, you need to take the help of Google translator.
Most of the local Chinese people don’t speak and understand English. There are lots of universities where teachers are not that much fluent in English. This creates an understanding gap between students. Learning a new language creates a burden to the students. MBBS in China is a very tough course. It takes a lot of time to learn a language and creates extra pressure on students. The students need to learn the Chinese language up to HSK-4 level to ensure interaction with patients. The students below HSK-2 level struggle a lot for studying MBBS in China.
FMGE Pass Percentage
.
Every candidate who has completed their MBBS in China must pass the FMGE exam in order to get approval as an accredited doctor by the MCI. Between 2015-18, no country had more students appearing for FMGE than China. However, the reality is that the actual overall FMGE passing percentage from all the universities in China between 2015-18 was just 11.71% (2,370 passed out of 20,254).
Low quality of education might be the reason for most of the students to get a fail percentage in these post MBBS eligibility exams.
Politics
Politics plays a major role in students studying any education in a foreign country safely. The political situation between India and China has not been in a great condition for the past few years. The situations between these two countries often become tense and get relaxed. The uncertainty in the relationship between India and China is a headache for the students studying MBBS in china.

To make this answer simple we should say it depends upon the aspirants view. But according to our research with former students who have completed their MBBS in China, we found out that most of the students struggled in their clinical practice, due to the language barriers.
