Abstract The internationalization of higher education (IHE) is not only a research hotspot since the wave of globalization but also a support point for the modernization of education in the new era. The theoretical basis, international trends, and empirical research on the IHE in the new era are insufficient in ideological, strategic, and empirical research. Especially in the new era of globalization, a series of important theoretical and practical issues such as the goals, concepts, mechanisms, and strategies of China’s higher education internationalization urgently need to be thought deeply, systematically planned, and solidly advanced. Focusing on the problems, challenges, and strategies faced by the IHE in China, it uses the Delphi method to carry out empirical research, puts forward the aim-idea-mechanism-strategy (AIMS) integrated development model and key elements of the IHE. This model analyzes the strategic vision and development path of high-level opening up of China’s higher education, and attempts to provide a theoretical reference for the international innovation and development of higher education in the new era. According to the AIMS development model, the IHE in the new era urgently needs to promote the identification of aims and Ideas in the reconstruction of vision, improve the internationalization mechanism in solving development problems, and promote the priority development that is conducive to common development strategy. Through empirical research, the authors put forward the AIMS integrated development model and key elements of the IHE. From the three dimensions of value pursuit, interest considerations, and development logic, it expounds the evolution of the goal from the benefit-sharing entity to the community with a shared future. From the perspective of promoting value-added and sustainable development, it describes new development ideas such as mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, multilateral diversity, competition and sharing, inclusiveness, and mutual learning. It is supposed to complete the internationalization mechanism of higher education by improving the power and responsibility distribution mechanism, quality assurance mechanism, and legal education mechanism. Finally, the study proposes to improve the internationalization level of higher education through key strategies including deepening internationalization capacity building, focusing on high-tech in-depth cooperation, and strengthening intelligent internationalization construction. The paper points out that the AIMS model is a systematic strategic design and overall reform plan for the IHE, which implies that AI is the direct guidance and theoretical basis, and MS is the system guarantee and practical plan. The vision and path of the IHE reconstruction are realized through the integration of aim, idea, mechanism, and strategy. There is neither a ready-made path nor a model to replicate in the IHE. In the face of major changes unseen in a century, the internationalization of China’s higher education shoulders lofty new missions and new requirements. A new journey is opened up in the innovation of theory and practice. International higher education will lay a solid intellectual foundation for realizing the modernization of Chinese-style education and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. To sum up, it should open up a new journey of IHE through theoretical and practical innovation and lay a solid intellectual foundation for realizing the modernization of Chinese-style education and the construction of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind.
