Abstract Based on the cultural shocks in the education management for international students in China, cross-cultural management can improve the management efficiency and promote education of international student in China effectively. Key Words: Cross-cultural management; Foreign students in China; Culture shock; Higher education; Internationalization With the development of higher-education internationalization, more and more international students have studied in China. The total number of international students exceeded 230,000 in 2009, reached 26 million in 2010. According to China's long-term Education Program, the number of foreign students in China will reach 50 million in 2050. China will become a country with a big number international students.These international students have become the main body of cross-cultural education. Therefore, facing to cultural conflict in the management of international students, cross-cultural management can resolve cultural conflicts, and promote the steady development. It is the effect way to the administrators in universities who are in charge of the international education. 1. CROSS-CULTURAL MANAGEMENT Cross-cultural management means the management depending on different cultural backgrounds of people, goods and the management thing and so on. Crosscultural Management for International Students means the management for overseas students in order to improve the international quality and strengthen the academic influence. With the advancement in science and technology, the world economy is developing rapidly, and emerging international trend. Higher-education has gone beyond the national boundaries, and international students studying in China meet some shocks in different economic environment, political environment, legal and social environment.

Somebody considers this culture shock as a kind of disease, which can be often see from people who suddenly leave their familiar native or social environment to a totally strange alien and society. The factors that people can stand the effect of in different degrees are determined by their experiences, education situation and their adaptability to changes of their environment. There are various differences between the national and social environment of the foreign students and the exotic culture, which have effected on their lives and study in some degree. The main reasons are as follows. 2.1 Different Values and Customs can Bring Culture Shock In western countries, people believe in personal dignity, praise highly personal spirit and carry forward personal value. Their standard of being human is putting themselves first. Westerners are good at independent thinking, judgment and solving problems, and they realize their personal dreams and aims by themselves.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
