China, one of the largest and fasting developing countries, is becoming one of the most potential fascinating transnational higher education market in the world. As a consequence, the program of "Sino-foreign Cooperation in Running School (SFCRS)"---the practice of TNHE in China was born and has boomed in China.Searching the source of internationalization of higher education and the relationship of economic globalization, international higher education, TNHE and SFCRS. At the base of synthesizing the whole things about SFCRS, the characteristics, experiences and shortages of SFCRS will be sum up.
