The article examines the dynamics of educational migration of Chinese students and the impact of the threat of the spread of "coronavirus" on student migration from China. China is one of the leading countries that send students to study abroad. By the end of the last decade, the number of Chinese students abroad had become the largest group of international students in the world. The deadly coronavirus outbreak has had a major impact on international student mobility. Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Singapore were among the countries that have banned entry for foreigners leaving China since the beginning of February 2020, while thousands of Chinese students have returned to China. The article is written within the framework of the scientific project of the Ministry of education and science of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Educational migration from Kazakhstan: factors, trends and socio-political consequences"
