Abstract
With the in-depth advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Chinese language education has gained significant development opportunities worldwide, particularly in the countries along the BRI routes. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges faced by international Chinese education under the BRI framework from multiple perspectives. It proposes strategies to address these challenges, emphasizing the importance of strengthening international cooperation, cultivating localized teachers, developing specialized teaching materials, and leveraging modern technology. These approaches aim to facilitate the deep integration of Chinese language education in BRI countries, providing theoretical and practical support for its further development.
