Abstract:

The higher education system in the modern world is subject to various developmental trends, such as globalization, fundamentalization, humanization, technologization, and computerization. Among these, the process of internationalization holds a significant position. The relevance of studying the internationalization process is driven by a dual necessity: to establish theoretical foundations for harmonizing the desire to align with global educational trends on the one hand, and to preserve the unique features of one’s national higher education system on the other. The study employed theoretical methods, including analysis of scientific literature (in original languages), and the comparative method, which aids in identifying specific and general patterns in the internationalization process, as well as similarities, differences, and development trends in this process in China and our country. The study concludes that a key feature of the internationalization process in the higher education systems of China and Russia is the recognition of cultural pluralism, an intensive dialogue of cultures, the development of multicultural competence, and the promotion of tolerance toward other countries and peoples. This is driven by the need to expand access to sources of advanced knowledge, establish new partnerships worldwide, and develop intercultural communication skills, as well as the aspiration to foster civil society. Another significant outcome of the research is the postulate that the internationalization of higher education is a systemic project involving government bodies, universities, and public institutions. The Chinese model of internationalization has its distinctive characteristics: state leadership and control over the internationalization process, integration of Western values with the traditional values of Eastern countries, and the creation of a modern higher education system that combines the best of Eastern and Western cultures. The results of this study can be applied in teaching pedagogical courses in universities and elective courses, such as "Education in the Asia-Pacific Region," among others.
