Abstract:The internationalization of higher education is an important symbol and key way to build a country′s cultural soft power. The study adopts a mixed research method, and analyzes the scientific research cooperation, student mobility and institutional cooperation in the SinoThailand higher education cooperation and exchange. It is found that the current SinoThailand higher education cooperation and exchange has made important progress, and there is great potential for cooperation in the fields of humanities, social sciences and arts. Meanwhile, the rapid development of China′s economy and SinoThailand economic and trade cooperation, the generous scholarship program and the international vision of Chinese universities are potential growth points for attracting Thai students. However, there also exist some barriers that need to be broken through. The current strength of Chinese higher education is relatively insufficient for attracting Thai students, and the space for activities of Chinese and Thai universities in higher education cooperation is still extremely limited. Thus, it is necessary to expand cooperation in the fields of humanities, social sciences and arts, so as to enhance cultural exchanges and mutual trust between China and Thailand; improve the quality and management of international students, and unswervingly follow the path of the internationalization of higher education; give full play to the active role of universities in SinoThailand higher education cooperation.
