Features: Hong Kong's higher education has undergone a century of development, especially with the growth over the past few decades, forming a relatively complete and advanced higher education system. It has achieved remarkable success in integrating Western and American advanced experiences, operating in an internationalized manner, and blending with Hong Kong's local culture. With the implementation and fulfillment of closer economic and trade relations between Hong Kong and mainland China, particularly the Pearl River Delta region, exchanges and cooperation in the field of higher education between Hong Kong and regions in mainland China, including Shenzhen, are bound to increase. Through field research, the author of this book has compiled detailed first-hand materials, focusing on the distinctive experiences of higher education in Hong Kong. Using comparative and comprehensive methods, combined with the current state of higher education in Shenzhen, the book delves into the comparative advantages and potential cooperation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen higher education, as well as the buffering mechanisms in the relationship between the Hong Kong government and universities and their implications for reference. This work offers valuable explorations in theory and practice to promote cooperation in the field of higher education between Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as the internationalization of higher education in Shenzhen and mainland China.
