College ‘buddy system’ sparks suspicion of ’foreigner privilege’

高校“學伴制”引發“外國人特權”的質疑

Controversy over international students’ "privilege" in China has returned to the spotlight on Chinese social media after a university in East China’s Shandong Province was reported to have "allocated" three study buddies for each international student.

在中國東部山東省的一所高校為每位留學生“分配”三名學伴的新聞被報道后，有關留學生在中國享受“特權”的爭議再次引發了中國社交媒體的關注。

Reports went viral on Sina Weibo recently, saying that the Ji’nan-based Shandong University (SDU) allocated 141 buddies for 47 international students in 2018 and most of the buddies were female, while their international partners were male.

近日，一則報道在新浪微博上瘋傳，據稱山東大學在2018年為47名留學生分配了141名學伴，其中學伴大多數為女性，而留學生都為男性。

The reports showed an alleged list of these students, on which the Global Times reporter found no indication of gender. The widely circulated list could not be found on the SDU’s website.

報道還展示了一份據稱是這些學生的名單，《環球時報》的記者無法辨別這份名單上學生的性別。而在山東大學的官網上也找不到這份廣為流傳的名單。

The reports triggered heated discussions on social media, with many netizens wondering why one international student needs so many buddies. Some even asked if the university was looking for mates for international students.

這些報道在社交媒體上引發了激烈的討論，許多網友表示疑惑，為什么一名留學生需要這么多學伴。一些人甚至質問山東大學是否在為留學生找對象。

The SDU did not reply to the Global Times as of press time, but an alleged statement released by the university on Sunday spread on the internet said its buddy program was aimed at promoting the studies of domestic and international students and was carried out voluntarily.

截止發稿前，山東大學并對《環球時報》進行回復，但該校周日在網絡上發布了一份聲明稱，“學伴制”旨在促進國內外學生的學習，是自愿開展的。

It also noted that the buddy program is common in many Chinese colleges to promote communication between domestic and international students.

該聲明還指出，“學伴制”旨在促進國內外學生之間的交流，在中國高校中很常見。

An anonymous member of staff from the Office of International Cooperation and Exchanges of Nanjing University (NJU), Jiangsu Province confirmed with the Global Times that they had been carrying out the buddy program for many years.

江蘇省南京大學國際合作與交流辦公室的一位不愿透露姓名的工作人員向《環球時報》證實，他們多年來也一直在實行“學伴制”。

Many students from Beijing-based colleges, like Peking University and Beijing Language and Culture University, reached by the Global Times reporter also said buddy programs were common in colleges for international students.

《環球時報》的記者采訪了來自北京大學、北京語言大學等北京高校的許多學生，他們也表示，“學伴制”在高校中很常見。
