Understanding of the notion of higher education internationalisation in China at the national level has been narrow for a long time. In general it means international activities and exchange programs. China authorities emphesize mainly on practical aspects of internationalization but not wide understanding of mutual exchanges of people, ideas, well-being and servicesbetween nations and cultural identities. This narrow vision is associated with Sino-centric mentality: Chinese teaching as essence, western one for practicality. Implementation of internationalization policy is fulfilled under national government control. At the national level is assumed an existence of 4 internationalisation categories: 1) intensive transnational higher education; 2) strategy of internationalization elite of China universities; 3) curriculum internationalization; 4) challenges in China higher education.TwocharacteristicsofConfucianmodel are highlighted in Chinese national strategy of higher education internationalization: the first – strict national outlining of structures, funding and priorities; and the second – accelerated state investing in research and world-class universities.
