The peril and promise of China’s education internationalisation: Online education, inequality and disabled students
This paper provides a commentary on China’s latest internationalisation initiative released in June 2020. We find that accelerating online education, as part of the initiative, has several potential social benefits, including enhanced access to higher education, better social participation and improved global citizenship. We also highlight alarming and under-explored concerns relating to China’s education internationalisation, featuring education inequalities between students in different Chinese regions and rural and disabled students. We call for future research, including online education studies, to address these inequalities within the Chinese education landscape, especially involving disabled children who are currently encountering significant hurdles in accessing basic education within the prevailing system.

Abstract
This paper provides a commentary on China’s latest internationalisation initiative released in June 2020. We find that accelerating online education, as part of the initiative, has several potential social benefits, including enhanced access to higher education, better social participation and improved global citizenship. We also highlight alarming and under-explored concerns relating to China’s education internationalisation, featuring education inequalities between students in different Chinese regions and rural and disabled students. We call for future research, including online education studies, to address these inequalities within the Chinese education landscape, especially involving disabled children who are currently encountering significant hurdles in accessing basic education within the prevailing system.
