This book examines how general education in Chinese universities cultivates cultural confidence among college students, addressing the evolving landscape of Chinese higher education.Situated within the context of China’s higher education reforms and global engagement, the book integrates theoretical analysis, policy review and empirical research to explore effective integration models between general education and cultural confidence. Through document analysis, surveys, interviews, and case studies from a range of Chinese universities, it analyzes national and provincial policies, institutional practices, and students' lived experiences. The book identifies successful strategies for embedding cultural confidence into curricula, teaching methods, and campus culture, while also confronting persistent challenges. By offering evidence-based recommendations and comparative insights, it contributes to international conversations on general education, cultural identity, and educational innovation.The research findings provide actionable guidance for educational policymakers, university leaders, and educators aiming to design curricula that not only equip students with knowledge and skills but also foster a deep sense of cultural identity and confidence. Additionally, the book will appeal to graduate students and scholars interested in higher education, general education, cultural studies, and comparative education.
