In the past 30 years, the exchange and cooperation between China and the United States in the field of education has never been interrupted.Cooperation models such as mutual study abroad, joint school running, experts and scholars’ visits, and academic conferences are to promote friendship and deepen understanding of the people of China and the United States.Under the climate of “internationalization of traditional education and localization of international education”, it presents a good characteristic of a variety of integration, integration, and uniqueness.However, in recent years, with the continuous friction between China and the United States, the process of humanistic exchanges between the two countries that have gradually entered a good realm has been highly safe and political, and the asymmetry and externality of Sino -US education cooperation have continued to magnify.
The US Ambassador to China Nicholas Bernus once said that about 15,000 American students studying in China in six or seven years ago, but in 2022, the sharp decreased to 350. Although the number rose slightly to 700 in 2023, it was withThe importance of China to the United States is far from commensurate with the national interests of the United States.If the shrinking of staffing is just a superficial dilemma in Sino -US education cooperation, then the people of the two countries are increasingly negative and the prominent impression of the rigid impressions will challenge the development of Sino -US relations.
In fact, the endogenous motivation of the two countries seeking educational cooperation has always existed.As far as China is concerned, in order to expand the exchanges between China and the United States, especially the adolescents, China has actively expressed their willingness to invite 50,000 American teenagers to come to China to communicate and learn.This not only incorporates intergenerational dimensions into the process of stability and improvement of Sino -US relations, and continuously empowerment of bilateral education exchanges in downturn, but also allows the world to see the minds and determinations of the new chapter of Sino -US relations in China.As far as the United States is concerned, the administrative orders such as “Prohibition of some Chinese students and researchers from entering the country” issued by the Federal Government in all walks of life in the United States are also sincere.Some voices have criticized the US government as a “cocoon self -binding”. It is believed that it is realistic to expand education with China, which can increase the diversity of teachers and students in American schools, increase admission rate and tuition income, and build a broader and deeper Sino -US cooperation network;Secondly, there is no doubt that the status of the world’s world science and technology country has become the most common international co -operator in science and engineering international journals in science and engineering.The restriction with education cooperation with China is completely “killing the enemy for 800 self -damage.”San Bai China and the United States take education cooperation as the starting point, and work together to deal with non -traditional security challenges such as climate change and epidemic diseases facing human beings is the common needs of the world.Therefore, adherence to the Cold War thinking and the name of national security to prevent Sino -US scientific and technological cultural exchanges and damage educational cooperation. As a result, it is to damage the national interests of the United States at all levels.
Aside from the external impact of the fluctuations in Sino -US relations on education cooperation between the two countries and the ranges from this mechanism, educational cooperation is indeed in the present and favorable in Qianqiu.In three aspects: First, to break the stereotypes with personal experience, it helps to avoid strategic misjudgment in the process of moving forward in the era of Sino -US relations.In view of the stereotypes of American society in East Asian countries, in addition, some Western politicians and media advocate “Chinese threat theory” and rendering ideological opposition, to some extent, it has raised the difficulty and fairness of the people of the two countries.The key to educational cooperation is “cognitive reshaping”. Through the personal infiltration of the exchanges and cultural style of Sino -aesthetics, the “traditional prisms” observed by the peoples of the two countries have been removed, and the new and US credit explanation and interpretation of civilization and mutual learning are opened.Destiny.
Second, starting with symmetrical educational communication, moving towards a major power of equality, openness, and cooperation.The development of the new media effectively broke the media monopoly and information filtering, and provided a reality -virtual, official -semi -official -folk and other scenarios for the educational communication of the two countries.This not only effectively weakens the time -space obstruction and dominance of educational cooperation, but also more importantly, based on the development of the cultural essence of the two countries, activating the talent resources of the two countries, optimizing the hardware configuration of the two countries, in order to change the asymmetry between Sino -US education cooperationSexual relations, thereby reducing the risk of conflict risk setting “flexible guardrail”.
Third, highlight the role of Sino -American role in global education governance.The current international situation uncertainty continues to rise, and China and the United States actively participate in global education governance on the basis of bilateral education cooperation. On the one hand, how to fully respect the sovereignty of education in various countries and promote different civilization exchanges and dialogue provides real examples; on the other hand, it also helps to helpIn the two countries, they have grown up and supplemented, and each improves the fairness, quality and sustainable development of their national education, and injects more positive potential into the future map of Sino -US relations.(The author is an associate researcher at the American Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)
