BEIJING - Li Huiyu gave up a chance to work for one of America's leading genomics companies, instead returning to China to work for a startup in 2017, the same year he graduated from Stanford University's engineering school.

"I like new challenges, responsibility and leading a team forward," Li said.

"I hope what I learned can contribute to my country," Li said.

He noticed computer science was popular among school children in the United States.

His team, Mobby iCode, now aims to provide high-quality coding courses to children in China.

The experience of studying abroad appears to give Chinese students a more open-minded attitude about startups, according to a survey published earlier this week.

While only 9 percent of those who had yet to study overseas planned to start a business, the number grew significantly to 49 percent among those who had completed overseas courses, according to the survey.
