“…Since 1960s, much effort in academia has been devoted to better understanding the construct of CI, as well as its effects from a multidisciplinary perspective (Nagashima, 1970 ; Min Han, 1989 ; Roth and Romeo, 1992 ; Martin and Eroglu, 1993 ; Li et al, 2014 ; Carneiro and Faria, 2016 ; Lee et al, 2016 ; Lu et al, 2019 ; Mikhnevych et al, 2020 ; Dragoi, 2021 ; Gohary et al, 2022 ). However, most of the previous studies were just descriptive/qualitative studies, especially in China (Sun, 2002 ; Shao, 2014 ; Liu, 2016 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Gohary et al, 2022 ). For example, many scholars have conducted an in-depth analysis of the importance and significance of China's CI with event report to formulate countermeasures (Feng, 2008 ; Xue et al, 2015 ; Chen et al, 2020 ), but little attention has been paid to the integrated and systematic analysis of conceptualization, components, and impacts of CI from interdisciplinary perspectives, such as the research on the relationship between country image and international education.…”

This study aimed to investigate the conceptualization and measurement of China's country image (CI) as well as its effects on the economic image, product image, national image and residence intention of individuals. A total of 297 international students from central Asia were recruited to complete an online survey. The confirmatory factor analysis of CI scale showed that CI is a multidimensional construct consisting of a cognitive component (further be divided into government image, international image, and social image) and an affective component. Participants' ratings on China's CIs before and after coming to China were compared by using a repeated-measures ANOVA and paired sample t-tests, and the results showed a significant difference in government image and international image but no significant difference in social image. The regression analysis showed that CI significantly predicted the economic image, product image, national image and individual's residence intention. This study demonstrated a theoretical insight of CI research and could potentially contribute to optimizing strategies to improve the country reputation.
