Abstract
With the deepening of educational internationalization in China, an increasing number of international students are choosing to pursue their studies in China. The training of international students should be based on the management mode of “convergence management.” Convergence management is a process involving multicultural exchange and interaction, and its essence lies in strengthening the cultural identity of international students. In this paper, the current status of international students’ cultural identity is summarized, and several coping strategies are explored, with the goal of fostering outstanding international students possessing sound professional knowledge, global perspective, and Chinese feelings.
