Being International: How Far Can We Go for Our Universities?

Abstract

Being international is the only way for every university to go in the context of the new national “Double first-rate†plan. This paper outlines current status of our universities, lists and analyzes some of their shortcomings and consequences caused. Then some suggestions are presented to boost the internationalize of universities. For a university to be international, we have to (1) restore the function of a university as academic research, (2) form clear understanding of our own needs, (3) maintain the necessary awe of politics and (4) rebuild health relations between tutor and students. Only in this way can we achieve the internationalization of our universities in the future.
