Abstract
The internationalization of education within China’s new development concept involves a complex journey that combines tradition, innovation, and global involvement. This paper explores the connotation and direction of China’s education, shedding light on its development path driven by sustainability, fairness, and creativity. Education internationalization serves as a tool to enhance soft power and global influence by promoting student exchanges, academic partnerships, and cultural interactions. In recent years, there has been a shift in focus and effort in China’s endeavors resulting in a significant increase in the enrollment of foreign students. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted travel and study plans, highlighting the changing nature of this field. Guided by the principles of the new development concept, the approach to international education aligns with human-centered development values. It aims to develop individuals who can navigate an interconnected world while promoting cross-cultural collaboration beyond borders. Incorporating both domestic and international content into curricula enhances sensitivity while expanding students’ global perspectives. At the same time, ensuring access to educational resources and strengthening international partnerships contribute to comprehensive educational experiences for all. Also, overcoming challenges such as disparities and biases in educational content further emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy. Hence, China’s endeavor towards internationalizing education creates a fabric of interconnections and shared progress. Guided by the new development concept, the pursuit of education internationalization signifies a dedication to shaping a future that is more inclusive, interconnected, and sustainable on a global scale.
