In this book, large amounts of statistics are used to analyze how foreign students’ education is related to China’s international relationship, economy and this country’s development in higher education. Since China’s reform and opening-up, in the past 30 years, the education system for foreign students studying in China has been gradually established and plays an important role for the development of foreign students’ education. This book demonstrates this role. Furthermore, comparing teaching foreign students in other countries, the major characteristics and problems of foreign students’ studying in China have been analyzed and addressed. This book lays a solid foundation for the further development of administrating and teaching foreign students in future. It is also a comprehensive collection of the research results on the administration of foreign students in China.
