No, and there's no such thing as a 'target country'. Of the undergraduate students doing their first degree at LSE, there are 2600 from the UK and 3040 not from the UK. Of those 3040 not from the UK, 765 are from the EU and 2275 aren't. This is the data from HESA for the academic year 2020-21.
There are slightly more postgrads in total than undergrads.

LSE has its own stats on students (here), and in total there are 2000 students from China - that's UG and PG total. So UK students easily outnumber Chinese students.

I thought 60% were Internationals? :s-smilie:

Well that is roughly equal to the figure I've given for students doing their first undergraduate degree. Not everyone applying from overseas is from China.
