The results of the article can be used in further research on the higher education transformation problems, in the development of proposals and recommendations for specialists in the of higher education management field for use in practice.

The paper deals with the phenomenon of academic mobility in the context of internationalization of higher education in modern China. It focuses on such problems as specificity of Chinese approach to internationalization of higher education and functioning of academic mobility in the context of transformation of international educational space. It is shown that the image of the future educated China is based on the traditional project of “Great Unity” society (Datong society in Confucian concept of social ideal). At the same time the idea of a united humanity is not exceptionally Chinese, but has deep historical roots and a universal nature. Cautious about the supranational extrapolation of this idea, modern China is nevertheless expanding international cooperation and strengthening cross-national contacts, using cross-border academic mobility as one of its “soft power” tools.

The authors believe that the virtual environment is a holistic system, which requires ethical review, evaluation, etc. within the framework of information ethics. Results: 1. Global educational trends were named: promoting a culture of innovation; expansion of cooperation between educational, scientific and business organizations; digital university model development; development of cooperative pedagogy; continuity of education; creation of individual educational trajectories. 2. Risks of virtualization of educational environment in a higher education institution identified: student identification problems, insufficiency of motivation in contactless education, infringement of communication privacy, asymmetry in information distribution, digital discrimination. 3.
