Abstract
The career of China International Education, which is closely related to China’s politics, diplomacy, culture, education, economy and other interests, should be developed better and faster for a long time. Since the beginning of this century, China international education has entered a period of rapid growth, but still there are some security risks such as unknown targets, structural imbalance and poor quality, so it is in urgent need of strategic planning. By the SWOT analysis on the aspects of advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and challenges of China International Education, this article puts forward some strategic countermeasures including to build a cultural power as the goal, to enhance the quality of teaching as the cornerstone, to grasp Chinese language teaching as a leader, and to focus on the students resource from neighboring countries.
