Chinese Globalization: Bri and the Future of Higher Education

Abstract

Since World War ii, the United States and its allies have overseen a global order built on trade liberalization and the development of a Western model of global integration. That order now appears to be winding down. Beyond the era of “Western hegemony”, Asia is returning to the patterns of commerce and cultural exchange that thrived long before European colonialism and American predominance (Khanna, 2019). Underwriting Asia's resurgence is the return of China. This paper charts China's rise and Chinese globalization focusing on China as a global technology leader, detailing AI and Chinese human capital development, before turning to China's global higher education to provide an interpretation of Chinese Globalization.
