摘要

At present, "Double World-classes" Development is one of the hottest topics of higher education in China. Although it is not involved in the total plan of the "Double World-classes" Development, the education for international students in China, as an important part of the internationalization of China's higher education, shall also be given attention to. Now, the education has won a success in quantity, and in the future it should pay attention to enhancing the ability to serve the national strategy, improving quality and efficiency, and building China's own international education brand. According to the statistical data of the Ministry of Education of China, there were more than 440 thousand foreigners studying in China in 2016; and there were more than 10 thousand international students studying in over 10 provinces and cities such as Beijing City, Shanghai City, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province respectively. After over 10 years of rapid development, the goal of "Study in China Plan" proposed by the Ministry of Education of China in 2010 has been achieved in advance. For example, China has become Asia's largest destination country for international students, and judging from the view of "quantity", the set objective of attracting 500 thousand international students in 2020 will soon be achieved, which is such an exciting achievement. So in the face of the vigorous development of internationalization of higher education, what is the development direction in the future of the education for international students in China?
