The localization strategy of international Chinese language education is a connotation-oriented development，while the intelligent approach is a leapfrog development path. Localization refers to the gradual integration of textbooks，teachers，and teaching arrangements into local factors，ensuring the sustainable development of international Chinese language education in the local area，and gradually growing into an educational brand with local characteristics. Intelligence relies on the interconnection advantages of information technology，strengthens mobile learning and ubiquitous learning for mobile devices，and achieves immersive learning through virtual reality technology，promoting the leapfrog development of international Chinese education. Compared with the world’s established language and culture promotion institutions，international Chinese education should have a higher vision. By exploring the local development model and digital transformation path，it can form stronger competitiveness and achieve high-quality leapfrog development.
