More recently，however，they have had to compete with the rapidly growing Asian higher education market.US colleges and universities have long welcomed students from China，where the higher­education system cannot meet the demand.Three years ago, there was a record that 10 million students throughout China took the national college entrance examination，competing for 5.7 million university slots.Because foreign undergraduates typically fail to qualify for US federal aid，colleges here can provide limited financial help.Now，thanks to China's booming economy in recent years，more Chinese families can afford to pay. US colleges also face challenges abroad.Worries about fraud on test scores and transcripts make occasional headlines.And even Chinese students who test high on an English­language proficiency test may not be able to speak or write well enough to stay up to speed in a US classroom，where essay writing and discussions are common.
