问题     China will continue its policy of encouraging people to study abroad, Vice-Minister of Education Wei Yu said last week.
    China will also encourage students to return to the motherland to participate in its modernization effort, she said, and if they want to go abroad again the country will give them the green light.
    On June 23, 1978, the late Deng Xiaoping, then Chinese Vice-premier, decided that more people should study abroad, and the policy started a 20-year study-abroad fever.
    In Chinese cities, it is difficult to find a young person who has not heard of TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language)or GRE(Graduate Record Examination), the primary tests required to attend graduate school in the United States.
    China sent its first group of students to study in the United States and Europe back in 1872. That ended during World War II .
    During the 1950’ s, the major destination for students was the former Soviet Union. Many Chinese leaders were students in Soviet colleges.
    But the "cultural revolution(1966—1976)" dealt a blow to the enthusiasm. Any contacts with foreigners were strictly banned(禁止).
    " To some extent, the difficulty of a shortage of talented people has been eased," she said, "thanks to the study-abroad policy which has in turn promoted China’ s opening-up to the rest of the world. " Wei went on to say that during the past two decades, about 300, 000 Chinese have gone to study in more than 100 countries. By the end of 1997, a total of 163, 100 Chinese had studied in the United States, accounting for 56 percent of the students who went overseas to study.
    "Facts have proved that Deng’s decision was correct. " Wei said.
Another official said that more and more students have returned to China after completing their studies abroad. "China’ s economic miracle is providing them with opportunities to develop their talent. " he said, adding that their social status, working and living conditions have been improving.
According to the passage, about 300,000 Chinese have been sent to study abroad since ______.
