This research adopts the method of natural investigation, selecting Chinese student samples during study abroad program in the University of Minnesota to complete the designed questionnaires to examine the intercultural interventions taken before, during and after this type of study abroad in Chinese universities. Also, after students complete the questionnaires, email communication is made to analyze the reasons for their answers to the questionnaires. The questionnaire results and email communication show that there is a great gap in the practice of intercultural interventions in study abroad programs between Chinese universities and students expectations. It is time for Chinese universities to design appropriate intercultural interventions in order to maximize Chinese university students＇ intercultural development during study abroad. These intercultural interventions should be run consistently to cover the phrases of pre-departure, during and after the study abroad program. Also, more dynamic and interactive intercultural interventions rather than knowledge-based intercultural instructions or guidance should be the focus for intercultural interventions.展开更多

Chinese Studies in Japan originates from the deeper tradition of Sinology. And the socalled "Sinology" refers to the study of annotations in the Han Dynasty, i.e., the predecessor of the textual research in the Qing Dynasty. Japanese scholars tend to prefer facts and problems to theories and doctrines. Their essays or papers are not to find facts for arguments and frameworks but to discuss matters and imply arguments in factual statements. Sometimes, the arguments may even be concealed by too many facts.展开更多

On the one hand, by applying modern economic theory to Chinese economic problems, they sought solutions to these problems and facilitated the Sinicization and localization of economics; on the other, they kept pace with the latest developments in economics and were bold innovators, with some entering the ranks of world famous economists.展开更多
