Abstract
In recent years, China’s rapid development has drawn attention in all parts of the world. This has happened in a time when globalization and internalization are terms that frequently occur in the Danish educational context, and several ministerial reports call for more internationalization and an expansion of international activities to go beyond the borders of Europe and the West (The Danish Government, 2006; Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalization, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c).
