关于高等教育国际化的讨论强调创收，而忽视了政府和机构追求的其他不同理由。对于寻求进入知识经济或在全球化下获得更大竞争优势的国家来说，许多政策制定者将跨境高等教育视为培养人才的平台。在这一追求中，教育中心作为由广泛规划和投资支持的大规模举措而脱颖而出。通过比较马来西亚、新加坡和香港作为教育中心的发展，可以明显看出三个不同的目标：培养本地人才、吸引外国人才和遣返侨民人才。尽管招收国际学生受到关注，但培养本地人才仍然是教育中心的基本目标。人才发展包括人力规划以及支持当地学生多样化兴趣的更具包容性的规定。另一方面，教育中心的目标并不相同，即吸引外国人才和遣返侨民人才。不同的政治经济和种族敏感性等背景因素影响着外部人才的招聘。将人才发展的政策言辞与实施的现实进行比较，会发现在某些情况下存在严重的偏差。更重要的是，新加坡和香港的政治惰性产生了一种引力，使人们对一些外国人才的情绪日益恶化。
The discourse on the internationalization of higher education emphasizes revenue generation while neglecting other diverse rationales pursued by governments and institutions. For countries that are seeking to venture into a knowledge economy or accrue greater competitive advantages under globalization, many policymakers view cross-border higher education as a platform for developing human talent. In this pursuit, education hubs stand out as large-scale initiatives supported by extensive planning and investment. By comparing the developments of Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong as education hubs, three distinct objectives are apparent: to develop local talent, to attract foreign talent, and to repatriate diasporic talent. Despite the attention directed at the recruitment of international students, developing local talent remains a fundamental goal among education hubs. Talent development includes manpower planning as well as more inclusive provisions that support the diverse interests among local students. On the other hand, education hubs do not share the goals of attracting foreign and repatriating diasporic talent. Contextual factors such as distinct political economies and ethnic sensitivities mediate the recruitment of external talent. Comparing the policy rhetoric of talent development against the realities of implementation reveals sharp misalignment in some cases. More importantly, the political inertia in Singapore and Hong Kong exerts a gravitational pull that is increasingly turning sentiments against some foreign talent.
