Fair Trade? The relationship between study abroad Chinese students and the United States

摘要

Despite China's 20th century education system largely avoiding Western influences, the past 30 years has seen a reemergence of China's willingness to send students abroad. China's push to internationalize their higher education system stems from the need to alleviate the domestic competition for enrollment at top Chinese universities and also to increase a global knowledge exchange that could help to expand their economy. Western countries such as United States are also benefitting from greater revenue that international students bring and further cooperation with the emerging market of China.
