Ideological Orientation of and Educational Guidance for Contemporary Chinese Youth Against International Background
At present, the higher education of Chinese youth has to face the reality of internationalization. There is no doubt that Chinese young people’s ideology and thoughts have undergone complicated as well as profound changes in the process of internationalization, assuming brand-new characteristics and showing new trends. If we carefully analyze the complicated impact on contemporary Chinese youth’s ideology by internationalization and study the different features coupled with orientation of their thoughts, it will be of great significance for the research on methods and countermeasures for ideological education of Chinese youth against the international background.
