What Chinese Students Abroad Think

What the experience of Chinese students studying abroad produces for their views of China

The Experience

The Chinese international student experience -- the approximately one million Chinese students studying at universities outside China, primarily in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada -- produces the specific exposure to information environments, political discussions, and personal freedoms that the Chinese domestic information environment does not provide. The experience produces the specific individual responses that the range of prior attitudes and the specific experiences during the study period generate.

The Views

The views that the experience produces are more varied than either the Chinese government or the Western observers tend to acknowledge: the students who maintain or deepen their nationalist commitments because the Western environment has not been welcoming; the students who develop the specific skepticism about the Chinese government narrative that the exposure to alternative information produces; and the students who compartmentalise, developing their professional skills in the Western educational environment while maintaining their political commitments to the Chinese state.

Apple Daily UK Coverage

Apple Daily UK covers Chinese students abroad because the accountability journalism of the people-to-people dimension of the Western-China relationship requires examining what the contact is producing, and because the million Chinese students in Western universities are the specific demographic whose formation most directly determines the relationship between the two worlds in the next generation of leadership.
