This paper focuses on the convergent management of international students in Chinese universities amid the growing trend of international students coming to China under globalization. It addresses the core issue of balancing management standardization/efficiency with respect for cultural diversity and in-depth cultural integration, while avoiding conflicts from one-size-fits-all approaches. From a cultural integration perspective, the study examines the current implementation effects and shortcomings of convergent management, analyzes multi-dimensional challenges in international students’ cultural integration, and proposes innovative strategies involving optimized admission standards, educational system construction, management team building, and institutional guarantee improvement. Its aim is to provide theoretical and practical support for enhancing the quality of international student management and advancing the high-quality development of China’s educational internationalization.
