In-text citation
1. Unlike most other developing countries, where the World Bank’s education aid
targeted universal basic education, China persuaded the World Bank to fund its
higher education in the early stages (Hayhoe, 1989).
2. Likewise, Bräutigam (2011) points out that, “Influenced mainly by their own
experience of development and by the requests of recipient countries, the
Chinese aid and economic cooperation programs emphasized infrastructure,
production, and university scholarships at a time when the traditional donors
downplayed all of these” (p. 11)
3. STEM diplomacy is defined as “the use of scientific collaborations among
nations to address the common problems facing 21st century humanity and to
build
