Abstract

The report of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Party clearly states that we will move faster to build Chinese universities into world-class universities and develop world-class disciplines as we work to bring out the full potential of higher education. Under the background of "Belt and Road" construction, higher education is a "connecting heart bridge" for communication and cooperation between countries, and also a "adhesive" for co-construction and sharing. It has unique and irreplaceable advantages in the construction of "Belt and Road". The construction of "B&R" provides a broader space for the development of higher education and puts forward new requirements. In the face of the opportunities and challenges of "B&R", colleges and universities should take the initiative and push forward pragmatically, especially in the areas that are important nodes, and should speed up their own development in striving to serve the national strategy. By analyzing "three major challenges" of foreign exchange and cooperation in colleges and universities under the strategy of "B&R ", this paper finds out the" five major paths "for colleges and universities to help" B&R ", and analyzes them in detail in order to promote the international development of higher education in colleges and universities and to help the construction of "B&R".

Highlights

The introduction of the "B&R" strategy is the result of China's own cognitive changes to promote the realization of Chinese Dream
Because the countries along the B&R have their own unique language, traditional habits, festivals, religious beliefs and taboos, how to promote cultural exchanges and cooperation among countries under the premise of respecting the cultural traditions of the countries along the B&R, so that China's higher education can "go out" and cultivate complex people who can serve the construction of B&R is the key, is one of the significance of colleges and universities to help the "B&R" construction
As a link of international exchange, the modern Silk Road is open to any country and region

Summary

Introduction

In 2013, President Xi Jinping put forward the idea of building the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road "(referred to as "B&R") [1]. The "B&R" initiative, as an important concept for China to expand and deepen its opening to the outside world, is bound to bring new development opportunities for the internationalization of higher education in China. The "B&R" initiative spans Asia, Europe and Africa, involving different races, religions, cultures and polities, coupled with the increasingly complex international political environment, the political situation of some countries and regions along the route is unstable, the economic development is backward, the social order is chaotic, and the risk of educational exchange and cooperation is increased. The cultivation of international talents who know the national conditions of the countries along the route has become the key to promote the effective implementation of the "B&R" strategy.
