If you're looking for the benefit of a diverse experience and learning skills in both China and somewhere else, options are increasing. An interesting one we've noted is the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management in Beijing, which offers two separate programs in partnership with MIT Sloan School of Management and HEC Paris respectively. Students can spend a year in Beijing and one in either Boston or Paris, depending on the program they enter. Here are the details:
