Jones, Phil. International Students in China. China Source, 2018. Book, 50p. Multiple languages. Several formats, including Kindle and PDF. [Click here]
Abstract: There are almost half a million international students in China, arriving from every corner of the globe. Here cultural complexity meets contextual limitations and gospel opportunities. Among this mixed, dynamic and growing field of ambitious influencers are the leaders of the future. How can the global church embrace this gospel opportunity? It seems that, with consistent growth, high numbers, and such diversity, China is becoming the “hub of hubs” for impacting the world through international students. International student ministry in China inevitably means it is pioneering. Yes, the challenges are immense, but so are the opportunities. Who will commit themselves to reaching, maturing and equipping these students to be salt and light throughout the world? [ChinaSource]

Bieler, Stacey. Patriots or Traitors: A History of American Educated Chinese Students. Routledge, 2009. Book, 496p. English.
Abstract: Chinese students form the largest group of internationals coming to universities in the West. They have at various times been seen both as patriots and as traitors to their country. Bieler, who has worked with international students at Michigan State University, presents the stories of 15 students who came to the US between 1850 and 1930. "It's little known among most Chinese and American educators that many of these students returned as leaders for China, both politically and culturally, and that many became Christians while in the USA...It is this Christianity that puts some at risk, but, more importantly, shapes most of them for lives of service and altruism in a society convulsed by warlords and revolutions, on the one hand, and, on the other, constrained by Confucian ideals of harmony and conformity. Bieler tells these stories richly and wonderfully, weaving them together into an unforgettable tapestry." [From review by Bob Osburn, Wilberforce Academy]
