Abstract: Chinese education has been developing vigorously in countries all over the world. However, under the background of the epidemic, the world’s political and economic structure has changed, which has affected the teaching and dissemination of Chinese overseas. This article takes the Confucius Institute at University of Western Australia in Australia as an example to briefly describe the status quo of Chinese education in the state supported by the Confucius Institute, the development foundation, and the current challenges. The study found that the Confucius Institute in this area is facing cross-cultural conflicts, which was affected by international relations, and Chinese learning lacks vigor at advanced stages. It is suggested to strengthen the top-level design, make good use of social groups, stabilize the structure of learners, develop teaching resources, and promote the transformation of Confucius Institutes.
