亚洲内部学生流动是一种新兴现象，有关高等教育全球化的文献很少对其进行研究。本文基于对 888 名受访者的大规模调查以及对 80 名受访者的深度访谈，探讨了中华人民共和国赴马来西亚的学生流动情况。它解决了三个实证问题：谁来、为什么来马来西亚以及结果是什么？这些问题的背后是当代亚洲内部教育流动性的特征，以及马来西亚等区域性地点在全球教育空间秩序中的特殊性。该论文提出了两个主要论点。首先，这种跨亚洲的教育流动本质上是循环性的，代表着私营部门创建了一个新的产业和市场，商业化的市场知识促进了来自内陆城市的非精英大众流动的兴起，而这些城市与目的地国没有任何移民联系。在这方面，专业经纪或教育中介在促进和引导学生从中国流动到迄今为止“未知”的目的地（例如马来西亚）方面发挥着关键作用。其次，尽管这种流动已商业化，但种族和宗教在将国际教育需求引导至马来西亚等区域中心方面仍然很重要。中国学生中中国穆斯林的比例过高就证明了这一点，对他们来说，马来西亚是一个穆斯林国家是一个关键的选择因素。
Intra-Asian student mobility is an emerging phenomenon little studied in the literature on the globalization of tertiary education. This paper examines the flow of students from the People's Republic of China to Malaysia, based on a large-scale survey of 888 respondents, as well as in-depth interviews with 80 informants. It addresses three empirical questions: who comes, why Malaysia and what are the outcomes? Underlying these questions is the issue of the character of contemporary intra-Asian educational mobility, and the specificity of regional sites, such as Malaysia, in the global educational spatial order. The paper makes two main arguments. Firstly, this trans-Asian education mobility is largely circular in nature and represents the private-sector creation of a new industry and market, with commercialized market knowledge facilitating the rise of non-elite mass mobility from cities in the interior with no prior migration ties to the destination country. The key role of professional brokerage or education agents in enabling and channeling student mobility from China to hitherto “unknown” destinations such as Malaysia is critical in this respect. Secondly, notwithstanding the commercialization of such flows, ethnicity and religion remains important in channeling the demand for international education to regional hubs such as Malaysia. This is evidenced by the disproportionate numbers of Chinese Muslims among the students from China, for whom the fact that Malaysia was a Muslim country was a key selection factor.
