The Historical Process, Changing Logic and Future Prospects of China's Graduate Education in the United States——Analysis Framework Based on Push-Pull Theory
Based on the perspective of push-pull theory, reviewing the historical process of China's gradu-ate education in the United States since the founding of the People's Republic of China, analyzing the logic of its evolution, looking forward to the future development trend, and thinking about how to"optimize the internal and external transfer" graduate education in the context of the accelerated evolution of internal and external changes have important theoretical value and practical significance for promoting the construction of a socialist modern power. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's graduate education in the United States can be divided into five periods: interruption and stagnation, recovery and development, setback and downturn, recovery and cold, decline and slowdown. It is the result of the interaction and joint efforts of various factors. Among them, the intermediate factor plays a decisive role, the push-pull factor plays a fundamental role, and the individual factor plays a key role. Looking forward to the future, China's graduate education in the United States will have the following trends:in terms of flow direction, the United States remains the preferred destination for our graduate students to study abroad, and other countries will increasingly become an important consideration;In terms of flow, the total number of Chinese graduate students studying in the United States is unlikely to return to the previous "climax" state, and different majors vary according to time and situation;In terms of flow rate, the flow rate of Chinese graduate students studying in the United States will be further re-duced. We should not only strengthen our confidence in the opening up of graduate education, but also throw a-way our illusions and face up to the reality, comprehensively improve the quality of independent cultivation of graduate students.
