Public notice: Proposed candidate named for scholarship programme with 19 Australian, New Zealand

Summary

The International Exchange and Cooperation Office and the Party Committee Student Work Department issued a public notice on 16 September 2026 naming the proposed candidate for the Scholarship Programme with 19 Universities in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. On-campus selection for the programme has ended. Following the student's own application, a recommendation from his college and review by the International Exchange and Cooperation Office and the Party Committee Student Work Department, and in line with the China Scholarship Council's selection measures and basic candidate conditions, combined with the applicant's overall quality and preferences, the university proposes Liu Minhao, a doctoral student in Mining Engineering (Grade 25) at the School of Mining Engineering, as its study-abroad candidate.

He would take part in the programme with the University of Waterloo in Canada. The notice said anyone with comments or objections to the proposed candidate should raise them with the International Exchange and Cooperation Office or the Party Committee Student Work Department before 17:30 on 22 September 2026. Objections may be made by appointment, letter, phone or email and must be factual; phone calls and letters must provide a real name.

Contact details are: International Exchange and Cooperation Office, 0797-8312107, gjc@jxust. edu. cn; Party Committee Student Work Department, 0797-8312641, jxustxgb@126.

Commentary

The notice shows China is systematically sending doctoral students to universities in Australia, New Zealand and Canada through the China Scholarship Council. The candidate's choice of the University of Waterloo over a New Zealand university reflects Canada's appeal at the intersection of mining engineering and automated mining. For New Zealand SMEs, the outcome is not simply a lost contest over a doctoral student.

China is the world's largest mining producer and is accelerating mine intelligence and safety upgrades, creating strong demand for tailings treatment, mine environmental monitoring and efficient extraction technology for small mines. New Zealand has niche firms in sustainable mining, geothermal energy and ecological restoration. If New Zealand universities can maintain a presence in the programme, firms could seek to connect with Chinese doctoral students through university international cooperation offices, using them as a channel to understand procurement processes at Chinese state-owned mining enterprises and pain points in overseas projects.

Another view: the flow of talent to Canada also means New Zealand needs sharper marketing and industry-research linkages in engineering doctoral training, for example by highlighting practical applications in small mines and remote operations. Business owners should watch for follow-on short-term visiting or technology-matching opportunities rather than treating students only as a source of tuition fees. After the notice period closes on 22 September, the candidate's final host university will not change, but the 19-university cooperation framework remains an important node in the overseas network of Chinese mining talent.

Firms that embed themselves early may gain an early information advantage in future overseas tenders by Chinese mining companies.

Commentary in Chinese | 评论

该公示显示中国通过国家留学基金委系统性选派博士生赴澳新加高校，但此候选人选择滑铁卢大学而非新西兰高校，反映出加拿大在矿业工程与自动化采矿交叉学科的吸引力。对新西兰中小企业而言，这一结果并非单纯教育竞争失利。中国是全球最大矿业生产国，正加速矿山智能化与安全升级，对尾矿处理、矿山环境监测、小型矿山高效开采技术需求旺盛，而新西兰在可持续采矿、地热和生态修复领域有细分公司。

若新西兰高校能借此项目保持存在，企业可尝试通过校方国际合作部门对接中国博士生，将其作为了解中国矿业国企采购流程和海外项目痛点的渠道。另一视角：人才流向加拿大也意味着新西兰在工程博士培养的市场营销和产学研联动上需更精准，例如突出其小型矿山、偏远地区作业的实际应用场景。企业主应关注后续是否有短期访学或技术对接机会，而非仅将学生视为学费来源。

9月22日公示截止后，候选人的最终派出院校不会改变，但19所高校合作框架仍是中国矿业人才海外网络的重要节点，提前嵌入该网络的企业或能在未来中国矿企海外招标中获得早期信息优势。
