从国际友人到国际人才：来华留学七十年的发展与变迁

Abstract:The development of Studying in China programs in the past 70 years can be divided into three stages，namely，the initial stage in the early years of the People’s Republic of China（1950-1978），the steady development stage during the period of reform and opening（1979-1999）and the rapid development stage since 2000（2000-present）. In the three stages，international students have been serving as intellectual talents and cultural ambassadors for socialist construction，international relations，and educational development. In 2018，the number of international students in China reached nearly 500000，making it the largest destination country in Asia and the third-largest in the world after the United States and the United Kingdom. At the same time，students studying in China also face challenges such as lower education levels，insufficient social integration，and poor university management. This article argues that we should gradually establish a “standardized” admission mechanism，actively explore a “socialized” life management mode and continuously improve “market-oriented” employment and residence policy. In this way，we can attract，train and develop the international talents，further developing the quality of studying in China programs.
