The article focuses on a discussion paper put out by a British higher-education think tank, Agora, which highlights the the caution that British universities should be using when dealing with Chinese partnerships. The report, "British Universities in China: The Reality Beyond the Rhetoric," states that China is an emerging power in education and is striving to be a leader in higher education. Consequently, its absorption of British talent and intellect is something Britain should be cautious of. It is further stated that a strategy for what British higher education should be trying to achieve in China needs to be employed. Attention is paid to Asian expert, Ian Gow, vice chancellor of the University of Notthingham, Sir Colin Campbell, and Agora's director Anna Fazackerley.
