本文在广泛的高等教育跨境流动文献的背景下，考察了在香港和澳门的中国大陆学生的独特情况。这些地区是完全国内和完全国际之间的桥梁。香港和澳门高等教育扮演双重角色，既是高等教育的目的地，也是学生进一步国际发展的踏脚石。香港的模式与澳门的模式略有不同，因此，这两个地区可以相互比较，也可以作为一对与世界其他地区进行比较。本文首先注意到的方式，推动和拉动因素影响学生流动的文献，然后转向追求学术和专业成长，经济利益，个人国际化，提高社会地位的动机。本文表明，中国大陆学生的流动是由过剩和差异化需求驱动的。对这两个地区的独特特征的分析增加了对高等教育跨境流动性质的更广泛的概念理解。
Within the context of broad literature on cross-border flows for higher education, this article examines the distinctive case of mainland Chinese students in Hong Kong and Macau. These territories are a sort of bridge between the fully domestic and the fully international. Hong Kong and Macau higher education plays a dual role, as a destination in itself for higher education and as a stepping-stone for students' further international development. Patterns in Hong Kong are slightly different from those in Macau, and the territories may thus be usefully compared with each other as well as taken as a pair for comparison with other parts of the world. The paper begins by noting the literature on the ways that push and pull factors influence student mobility, and then turns to motivations in pursuit of academic and professional growth, economic benefit, individual internationalisation, and enhanced social status. The paper shows that flows of mainland Chinese students are driven by both excess and differentiated demand. Analysis of the distinctive features of this pair of territories adds to wider conceptual understanding of the nature of cross-border flows for higher education.
