The internationalisation of research education witnesses a growing involvement of students from China in Australian universities. Although these students bring with them a repertoire of Chinese intellectual resources, in most cases, they are expected to learn "Western" knowledge and adapt to Australian academic culture. In this article I contend that the world's knowledge production centre may not permanently be located in the West. Theories and concepts from Eastern countries such as China can be regarded as 'alternative resources' to the dominant Western academic culture. Informed by this concept, this study explores the possibility of using Chinese intellectual knowledge as alternative resources to assist Chinese students' research in Australia and develops a Chinese educational triad: 'teaching, learning and doing', as pedagogical strategies to make such resources more comprehensible and engaging to the Western audience, many of whom do not understand Chinese language, so that they can join the academic conversation and contribute to the internationalisation of Australian research education.
