In September 2020, the Ministry of Education issued a document. The Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Reform and Development of Postgraduate Education in the New Era, clearly proposing to expand the scale of postgraduate enrollment, moderately advance the scale of doctoral enrollment, and steadily expand the scale of postgraduate enrollment.
Unless the Ministry of Education and other relevant departments issue documents again later, the number of postgraduate students will increase in a high probability. After all, the number of admissions has been increasing for so many years.
