Abstract

This paper explores the integration of Cross-Border E-Commerce (CBEC) and International Chinese Education (ICE) under an industry-education collaboration framework. Amid expanding global trade and digitalization, there is rising demand for professionals with e-commerce expertise and cross-cultural communication competence. Based on case studies and literature, it examines synergies between the two fields, proposes a collaborative education model, and provides theoretical foundations, practical paths, and case data. The paper also addresses challenges, offers strategic recommendations, and notes that a well-structured collaborative approach can resolve talent shortages, improve educational outcomes, and support the global expansion of Chinese culture and e-commerce.
