BEIJING, April 25 (Xinhua) — By the end of 2025, China hosted 373 cooperative educational institutions and programs offering postgraduate degrees or higher, 69 of which offer doctoral programs, a think tank report said Saturday.

Sino-foreign cooperative education has entered a new phase of higher-quality development, according to the report titled “Study in China: Contributing to the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity.”
