The COVID-19 pandemic impeded the regular international student mobility (ISM) and educational exchange across the world.

Along with its unprecedented economic rise over the past several decades, debates about China's soft power push have become heated. Yet, consensus on what exactly constitutes China's soft power has not been reached.

Quality assurance has been one of the most important components of the Bologna Process and the EHEA. Quality and innovation are "sine qua non" in achieving competitiveness, especially when the focus is on its challenges in a global context.

This paper argues that higher education has a long history of globalising, though the form of these processes has been different. Two are identified; first, a normative order based on common frameworks; second, the expansion of formal exchanges of inputs and outputs from higher education. Different countries, however, are positioned differently in…

Despite its size and great distance from the Chinese capital, Hong Kong has long served as China's bridge in international educational exchange.
