跨国高等教育是一个快速增长的现象，但研究不足，甚至经常被误解。作为世界上最具潜力的市场，中国的潜力令所有传统离岸市场相形见绌。很少有人认真分析中国的快速增长。澳大利亚大学目前是中国高等教育的最主要力量，对中国情况的充分了解有助于澳大利亚大学未来提供高等教育。本文结合中英文文献，回顾了最新的中国政府文件，并描绘了在中国提供跨国教育的全面画面。它将中国的发展置于更广泛的社会和政策背景下，考察了中外合作伙伴关系的基本特征，并揭示了一些值得关注的主要问题。中国需要建立有效的监管框架来管理高等教育的新发展，特别是在质量保证方面，以确保联合项目的文化适应性。
Transnational higher education is a rapidly growing phenomenon that is under-researched and often even misunderstood. As the world's most promising market, China has the potential to dwarf all traditional offshore markets. Little research has been done to seriously analyse the fast growth in China. A sound understanding of the Chinese situation facilitates improvement of future provision of higher education by Australian universities, presently the most dominant force in China. This article incorporates Chinese and English literature, reviews the latest Chinese government documents, and delineates a comprehensive picture of transnational education provision in China. It locates the development in a wider social and policy context in China, examines the basic features of Chinese—foreign partnerships, and reveals some major issues of concern. It argues that China needs to form effective regulatory frameworks to govern this new development in higher education, especially in terms of quality assurance to ensure cultural appropriateness of the joint programs.
