Abstract：
Transnational public and global health programs in China have rapidly expanded over the past 20 years, and have potential to make important contributions to China\'s global health workforce. However, there has been sparse if any literature specific to transnational public and global health higher education in China. In response, this perspective article aims to: (1) outline current transnational public and global health programs in China, and (2) delineate opportunities and challenges for transnational public and global health programs to enhance China\'s global health workforce. Based on internet searches, eight active transnational public and global health programs in China were identified in September 2022 (one Bachelors; four Masters; three doctorate). Degree awarding institutions are located in Australia, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Courses for stand-alone transnational programs were co-delivered by faculty from the Chinese and foreign sponsoring institutions. The earliest and latest programs were respectively established in 2001 and 2022, and the average year of establishment was 2013. The endurance of some programs (three programs operating ≥ 10 years) indicates the potential sustainability of transnational public and global health programs in China. However, opportunities for cross-cultural engagement appear to be constrained by lack of English (or other language) requirements in some programs, limited recruitment of international students, pandemic travel restrictions, and a dearth of funding for global health research outside China. In addition, students enrolled at transnational universities in China are currently ineligible for China Scholarship Council funding. As China\'s need for global health capacity grows amid a rapidly shrinking population of younger citizens, strategic investments in transnational public and global health programs may be of increasing value.
摘要：
在过去的20年中，中国的跨国公共和全球卫生计划迅速扩大。并有潜力为中国的全球卫生劳动力做出重要贡献。然而,关于中国跨国公共和全球健康高等教育的文献很少。作为回应,本文旨在：（1）概述中国当前的跨国公共和全球卫生计划，（2）描述跨国公共和全球卫生计划的机遇和挑战，以增强中国的全球卫生劳动力。基于互联网搜索，2022年9月，在中国确定了八个活跃的跨国公共和全球卫生计划（一个学士学位；四个硕士学位；三个博士学位）。学位授予机构位于澳大利亚，葡萄牙,联合王国,和美国。独立跨国课程的课程由中国和外国赞助机构的教师共同提供。最早和最新的计划分别于2001年和2022年成立，平均成立年份为2013年。某些项目（三个项目运行时间≥10年）的持久性表明了中国跨国公共和全球卫生项目的潜在可持续性。然而,跨文化参与的机会似乎受到某些课程缺乏英语（或其他语言）要求的限制，有限招聘国际学生，大流行旅行限制，以及中国以外的全球卫生研究资金短缺。此外,在中国跨国大学就读的学生目前没有资格获得中国奖学金委员会的资助。随着中国对全球卫生能力的需求在年轻公民人口迅速减少的情况下增长，对跨国公共和全球卫生计划的战略投资可能会越来越有价值。
