China’s foreign aid to education is one of the core elements of Chinese International development cooperation. China shares similarity with Korea in international assistance experience, which is acting from a recipient country to a donor country. During years of development activities, educational assistance accounts for remarkable proportions of both of the countries. With the steadily incremental demand expectation of educational assistance, balancing breadth of studies instead of simply increasing quantity is vital in order to improve the expected effect on educational assistance. Therefore, to find reasonable orientations for future research, a comprehensive review and trend analysis should be implemented for all studies conducted so far. The purpose of this study is to understand characteristics of research on China’s foreign aid to education, by analyzing the research trends, and to provide rational suggestions and implications for future studies of both China and Korea. With this purpose, 180 papers, according to academic journals on international-collaboration in education from 2000 to 2015, were selected from CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and considered following criteria: published year, purpose of projects, study themes, projects procedure and objects. The results are as follows: First, numbers of theoretical analyses and positive analyses are experiencing an annually growth. The preference of theoretical analyses is devoted to introduction and discussion of development and collaboration. However, research related to corresponding model development is far from sufficient. Conversely, studies on model implementation, effect and feasibility are abnormally well developed. Second, higher education is most commonly discussed while few studies have been conducted on secondary education. Closer inspection indicates that plenty of journals are focused on teachers’ training session. Third, studies on educational assistance environment have been consistently carried out while competence development research appears to be noticeably insufficient. Last, as the main object of china’s foreign aid plan, Africa area is the focal point of related studies. Moreover, Japan and U.S. are served as major reference for casa and policy research.
