 note = {The last two decades have been the golden times of Chinese students’ mobility in pursuing college education in western countries. After the twentieth century, the number of Chinese students in Asian universities is on a rapid rise, especially Thai universities. This phenomenon indicates that their demands for higher education in Asia have significantly increased. This paper aims to study the history of Chinese educational migration and state policies which influence overseas Chinese students, to explore the mobility tendency of Chinese students studying abroad, to survey and to analyze the structural factors and students’ desires that affect their decision making to take higher education. By studying the case of Chinese students in Thai universities, this research employs the concept of mobility and power-geometry and argues that Chinese students as mobile subjects are tied to state policies and family’s expectations. The findings review that the intense competition in education, class, family background, and the family’s expectations in China are the critical structural factors feeding their decision process. On the other hand, university prestige and image, education opportunities, safe campuses, and global experiences are their desires to study abroad, and studying at a Thai university is one of their choices.},
