Abstract: Developed Western countries' policies regardinginternational student education have evolved through three stages since the Second World War:first,they were focused on development aid;then,they shifted to focus on export trade;and last,they became national strategies.The developed countries of the West have built their international student policies around the three metaphors of “humane good deed”,“win-win deal” and “free competition” in order to maintain their dominant position in the field.These policies aim to encourage the infiltration of cultural values under the guise of development assistance,international educational cooperation under the guise of capital plundering,and an international talent competition based on the maintenance of superiority in order to perpetuate unequal power relations.The global environment is growing more volatile and complicated.International student can also be seen in light of the idea of a community of human destiny.It fosters the development of a “new landscape for international student education” that incorporates many viewpoints and the spread of more marginalized and emergent types of education.

Key words: international student education, education policy, globalization, anti-globalization
