International education is an important strategic battlefield for the development of economy and politics in various countries, and it is also one of the foreign businesses actively carried out by major universities. In the context of globalization, countries are constantly updating and improving their international student education management systems, expanding the scale of international student education and training, and enhancing the influence of local culture in the world. As the only superpower and forefront of education and research in the world, the United States has always been the first choice for students from various countries to study abroad, and also the largest destination for international students. Since the reform and opening up, the number and scale of international students in China have been increasing day by day. With the continuous implementation of the “the Belt and Road” policy and the requirement of the Ministry of Education to “expand the opening of education to the outside world”, China has increasingly become a favored destination for studying abroad. However, due to lack of experience and unreasonable management systems, there are still problems with China’s study abroad education in China. This article aims to compare the education management policies of international students in China and the United States through case studies, and propose means to optimize the education management of international students in China, in order to help universities strengthen the “Study in China” brand, create key projects and boutique projects for studying in China, and take multiple measures to promote the connotative development of studying in China.
