In 2012, China became the world’s largest source of overseas students<\/a>, and\u00a0the\u00a0number of Chinese students\u00a0pursuing their higher education abroad continues to grow<\/a>.\u00a0In recent years,\u00a0there has been much commentary<\/a> on the mutual struggles experienced by\u00a0Chinese students and\u00a0their host universities<\/a>, and the profits reaped by\u00a0both universities and private\u00a0agencies<\/a>\u00a0from the Chinese desire (and financial ability) to pursue a\u00a0foreign degree. At Inside Higher Ed, Elizabeth Redden looks at a new paper\u00a0by UC Irvine Sociology Ph.D candidate Henry Chiu Hail<\/a>\u00a0examining the political implications\u00a0of Chinese students experiences at\u00a0overseas institutions where prevailing views of China are often less than favorable<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cPrior research suggests that if host country members were more interested in talking to international students, then more positive experiences and friendships between host country students and international students would take place,\u201d Hail writes. \u201cWhile this is undoubtedly true in many cases, anecdotal experiences of many sojourning students from China suggest that it is often precisely the host students\u2019 interest in China\u2019s political and social matters that leads to negative interactions between Chinese and host country students.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Chinese students complain that host country students want to talk with them about China but exhibit misinformed, prejudiced and offensive views of Chinese current events. Conflicting views of China\u2019s political and social situation can sometimes lead to intense hostility between Chinese and host country students.\u201d Hail specifically cites the period leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when Chinese students on many U.S. campuses protested perceived anti-China\u00a0biases<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0characterizations of the dispute over Tibetan sovereignty\u00a0and the riots that spring\u00a0in Lhasa.<\/p>\n

[…]\u00a0In an interview, Hail emphasizes that a lot of the defensiveness on the part of the Chinese students he interviewed was situational in nature, with many feeling that they needed to counteract perceived anti-China biases in the American media. \u201cThe fact is that not only do Americans mostly see negative images of China, not only do they often see China as a threat, but furthermore a lot of Chinese see the United States as jealous of China\u2019s rising power. They see the United States as trying to limit China\u2019s ascendance,\u201d says Hail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a very special context surrounding interactions between Chinese and American students. You can\u2019t remove these interpersonal interactions from the larger geopolitical context.\u201d […] [Source<\/a><\/strong>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
