Education and Practice of Thai Students' Study in China under Sino-Thai Friendship Cooperation: A Case Study of Yunnan University of Finance and Economics

Abstract

The historical ties between China and Thailand in terms of friendly cooperation have deep roots, with a long-standing tradition of amicable exchanges between the two peoples. In recent years, the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Thailand has continued to strengthen, fueled by the initiation and advancement of the "Belt and Road" initiative. This has resulted in increasingly close collaboration in various fields, including education and cultural exchanges, consequently leading to a continuous expansion of the number of Thai students studying in China. This paper employs a statistical data analysis approach, supported by data collection and graphical representation, to showcase the efforts and achievements of Yunnan University of Finance and Economics in the cultivation of Thai students. The aim is to provide insights and references for the development of international educational exchanges and cooperation between China and Thailand. The paper systematically reviews experiences in policy formulation and implementation, scholarship programs, collaborative academic projects, enrollment strategies, teaching management teams, and cultural exchange activities related to the education of Thai students in China. Additionally, the paper offers corresponding policy recommendations.
