DESCRIPTION:This presentation aims to introduce the term "neo-tributary" t
 o encapsulate China's understanding of its place in the global order\, and
  to explore how this self-understanding has shaped China's higher educatio
 n policies over recent decades.  It examines the rise of China’s global 
 profile in the international higher education community\, as indicated by 
 its rise of human capital\, visibility in academic publications\, world un
 iversity ranking\, expanding international cultural influence\, and becomi
 ng a study-abroad destination of international students.  It identifies th
 e diplomatic role of higher education in China’s politico-economic devel
 opment over a century\, and the linkage between higher education and China
 ’s international influence.\n\nThis presentation is based on Suyan's rec
 ent book (co-authored with Joe Tin-yau Lo) titled Higher Education and Chi
 na’s Global Rise: A Neo-Tributary Perspective (UK: Routledge).  It will 
 engage with audience in a scholarly discussion of what Chinese higher educ
 ation tells about China’s international relations\, especially the aims\
 , means\, and nature of China’s rise as a global power.
