Abstract. This paper discusses Chinese international students' leadership development through their experience of organizing student activities. Qualitative research method is used and four participants were investigated. The conclusion can be drawn that Chinese international students can develop their collaborative skills, interpersonal skills, skills of inspiring others, and skills in fulfilling responsibilities from organizing student activities. In order to facilitate Chinese international students' leadership development, student divisions and international service offices could work together to provide programs, offer internship opportunities, organize various activities, and support cultural organizations.

“…Chinese culture as well as education highly value children’s good interpersonal character and academic success (Hsu & Wu, ), which may be especially relevant to children being preferred by classmates or being a class leader. In addition, some distal caregiver correlates (e.g., education level, expectation, and parenting) may be particularly relevant to Chinese children’s social status (Ke, ; Rubin, Bukowski, & Parker, ; Wu & Bao, ). Moreover, there may be an underlying mechanism in the association between caregivers’ and children’s characteristics and children’s social status (e.g., Dishion, ; Sewell & Hauser, ; Wang, ).…”

“…Comparatively less research has considered the role of caregivers’ characteristics that are the distal correlates of children’s status (Rubin et al, ). However, some caregivers’ characteristics may be relevant to an individual's status attainment (e.g., Deković & Janssens, ; Dishion, ; Ke, ; Wu & Bao, ). A few studies have examined the relationships of caregivers’ socioeconomic status (SES) and parenting styles with children’s sociometric status (e.g., Deković & Janssens, ; Dishion, ).…”

“…Advantaged caregivers promote children to become class leaders (Ke, ; Martin, Innis, & Ward, ; Wu & Bao, ). For example, some studies based on Chinese samples found that children who attained leadership roles came from families with caregivers with higher SES (e.g., education level) (Ke, ; Wu & Bao, ). Ke () also found that class leaders experienced higher levels of democratic parenting than nonleaders in China.…”

“…This suggests that China has to recapture historic innovation and universities, especially the top-tier institutions, should play a critical role. Moreover, economic growth in China has accompanied a shift from elite to the massification of higher education (Chan and Ngok, 2011;Wu and Bao, 2013). However, the increasing number of university graduates is matched by worrying levels of graduate unemployment (Ren et al, 2011), especially from less prestigious universities.…”

Purpose – The paper aims to review the emergence and nature of entrepreneurship education in China. This paper considers the variability of developments in practices despite policy. In turn, this allows one to consider the implications of this uneven distribution of expertise and resources. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is primarily empirically descriptive, but it draws upon different literatures to examine entrepreneurship education in the uniqueness of its Chinese context. The authors offer two comparative cases to illustrate the arguments. Findings – Substantial differences were found by region and by the status of the institution. The region aspect is paradoxical because the largest number of new businesses exists in those regions with the best provision of enterprise education. The channelling of resources to elite resources compounds the problem. Less prestigious universities make do with what they have, and this may be detrimental for the quality and effectiveness of enterprise education. Research limitations/implications – There may be some regional differences that have been overlooked, but the thrust is clear. Different resource allocations have shaped entrepreneurship education in the regions. Practical implications – Applied policy may have detrimental effects on less well-endowed universities and thus neglect less entrepreneurial places. Social implications – If entrepreneurship is to deliver its promise of opportunity, innovation and job creation, it needs to be taught by experienced and informed faculty. The uneven distribution of entrepreneurship pedagogy and expertise indicates that this may be more difficult to deliver in some places. Originality/value – Although entrepreneurship education in China is now pervasive, little work has been done in comparing policies with practices.
