Abstract: The education policy of international students in China is the institutional force that continuously and effectively promotes the brand building of "Study in China". The research on the education policy of international students in China will help clarify the current situation of policy formulation and the direction of the subsequent improvement. By constructing a two-dimensional analysis framework of "Educational policy tools - elements of education development", it collates, codes and quantifies four representative education policy texts for international students in China since 2000. The research results show that the development of education policies for international students in China presents "staged" characteristics, with varying degrees of oversupply, insufficiency or deficiency in the distribution of education policy tools and elements of education development. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the application of incentives, capacity building and systematic reform tools, and strengthen the policy supply for the teacher construction and teaching resources, improve the policy supply of teaching research and teaching quality links.
