Overview:

This article seeks to understand how Chinese policy texts construct international students. This study reveals that international students are introduced in Chinese policies in five ways, ‘para-diplomats’ and ‘future elites’, but also as sources of ‘mutual exchange’, of ‘insufficient quality' and finally, as requiring ‘guidance’ to understand Chinese laws.
