The better way is to finish PhD or MsC in your country, then go to China. Chinese schools are oriented toward Chinese people and their customs. But they value a high quality foreign experts. You can go there as a postdoc, even for 6 years, and if you like it, you can stay there at university or a company.
Thing is, I plan on leaving my country for somewhere better after I complete my BSc. I have two more years left. I have no intentions of doing MSc/PhD in my country.
Just as an example there are 32 Graduate level programs taught in English at Tsinghua, and as far as I am aware most universities of a certain stature have programs taught in English (of varying quality) and will also have classes to teach the Chinese language to international students.
That’s probably why they are top ranked, I suppose. Other universities shouldn’t have that requirement. Especially the ones cooperating with western unis.
I don’t mind enrolling in Mandarin. I actually was studying Mandarin, for fun a while back. I stopped a while back, but I can resume that if need be. (I was learning through HelloChinese, but at some point it asks you to pay to continue… wouldn’t have been a problem if I had a Card or a Chinese Payment System or whatever they’re accepting, as I can afford it)
My current Mandarin skills are, I’d say HSK 0.1. So. Obviously not great, but that can be mended in time.

OK, but I am not sure whether you can further study in China in English. Unless you know Mandarin very well.

There are also USA and UK universities that have partnered with Chinese universities that offer many programs taught in English, like Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University and New York University: Shanghai.
Thank you for the useful information
Always happy to assist in knowledge gathering.
Tsinghua needs their students to be at least HSK 4-5 to be able to enroll though.

Very well, each small step is a small victory.
