for the international students currently enrolled in Chinese undergrad programs, do u regret leaving ur home country? would u have preferred another country?

im kinda torn about doing my MBBS in China. ive heard a lot of people say that Chinese degrees arent really recognized abroad, so if you want to do your master’s or residency in another country, they’d rather see that you studied somewhere else. how true is this to an extent???????

also like…if i actually go all in, learn chinese and fully immerse myself in the culture, attend all clinics, check a few hundred patients, would that make my chances of doing a masters or residency abroad any better??

(by abroad i mean countries in the EU)

like, lets say my uni is in the top 300-600ish globally, would i still not be preferred over the other candidate who did their med in a 'more recognized' country? does it even matter if i do well academically and get top scores in exams like PLAB or USMLE??????? would my letters of reccomendation not be taken srsly js cuz i did my medicine frm china?(im pakistani btw)

so basically… is all the exposure, patients, and culture experience just personal growth or does it actually matter for my career?

would anyone from abroad even take my degree seriously??
