The bar graph given provides information on the number of international applicants for a European university from four different countries in the course of 5 years.

It is obvious that the number of Chinese applicants, though being the highest among that of applicants from the other three countries for 4 straight years from 2004 to 2007, presents a discernible downward trend. In 2004, more than 25000 applicants come from China, which, however, dropped to merely 15000 in 2008. By contrast, the number of applicants from Japan, constantly ranking the third among the 4 countries steadily increased from only 5000 in 2004 to 10000 in 2008.

The other two countries saw a relatively dramatic fluctuation during 5 years, particularly America, which provided only 10000 students in 2007, the lowest during the period of 5 years, yet peaked at more than 25000 in 2008. Applicants from Russian kept account for the lowest proportion among the 4 countries in all 5 years, at only roughly 1000 in 2004 and 8000 in 2007, though already at its peak.
