Abstract
This mixed-methods study explores how Chinese international students experience and cope with acculturative stress given evolving sociopolitical contexts. By centering their voices, the study challenges deficit-based narratives and highlights students’ resilience and agency. Findings aim to inform culturally responsive strategies that support mental health and well-being of international students.
