Research on Strategies for Improving the Cross-Cultural Adaptability of International Students Studying in China

Abstract: This study breaks through the one-dimensional analysis paradigm of traditional cross-cultural adaptation research and constructs a three-dimensional analysis framework of "technology-space-institution" to systematically reveal the deep adaptation dilemmas faced by international students studying in China. The group of digital natives encounters three contradictions: virtual social dependence and physical space dislocation, algorithmic cognitive solidification and technological paradox, as well as institutional rigidity and elastic demand. Through mixed research, it is found that the generation of adaptability is systematically restricted by the inclusiveness of digital infrastructure, the spatial distribution of educational resources, and the openness of social networks. Accordingly, a collaborative strategy system is proposed, and mechanisms such as hierarchical language support, intelligent demand perception, and digital social navigation are designed to promote cross-cultural adaptation from passive adjustment to active creation. The study demonstrates the construction path of the "adaptive ecosystem" and emphasizes the synergistic effect of technological empowerment, spatial reconstruction, and institutional innovation to achieve a dynamic balance between instrumental rationality and humanistic values. This not only provides a practical framework for universities to optimize support services for international students but also expands new dimensions for the theory of civilized dialogue in the digital age.
