Abstract

This is the story of an expanding net of international collaborations that grew out of an innovative Canada-China higher education development aid project. The main actors are Chinese and North American scholars.1 The story traces three expanding circles of scholars and their ripple effects as China opened to the world and before an elite had accumulated enough wealth to send its children to North American universities.
