Wen Wen: A chat about China

A chat about China

 

As the largest source of international students in the world, and among the three most popular study destinations, China is a powerhouse to be reckoned with on the international education global stage.

To make sense of the many intersecting phenomena that are reshaping international higher education in China today – including student mobility, geopolitics and key research agendas – EAIE’s Laura Rumbley is joined by Dr Wen Wen of Tsinghua University. Their conversation takes us on a quick journey across a country of 1,270 universities and more than 20 million students. Tune in to the latest episode of the EAIE podcast for a timely “chat about China”.
