You can also apply to universities, if you have the savings, you can pay tuition and dorm fees. It is very cheap. But paying will likely not be necessary. The universities will be glad to have and even give students full ride scholarships. As long as they are not from Africa, Pakistan, ASEAN countries. Not a racist thing but because those are 95% of foreign students here, and students from elsewhere will boost the international score that goes into ranking universities.
Get on wechat.
Choose a university, and try to contact their international student office. If you want to do a master's or Phd, first apply, then they assign you an advisor. Emailing Chinese professors is a waste of time. It is like literally no one here uses email. They are not ignoring you. They literally just don't use email despite having emails.
Almost all universities even the small one have departments of Marxism Studies. They usually have very few students and almost no foreign students, they will trip over themselves to help you get in. Foreign on-Pakistani-African-ASEAN are like a sign that department deserves morr attention so you will not be ignored. Also they care about the passport, if your ethnicity is one of the above but your passport is not, it is the passport that counts.
Just be a good dedicated student, don't worry of you come from a crappy college.
If you have the funds I recommend visiting first.
If you come from a decently ranked university and are a decent student do not be afraid to apply to the top universities in China. University admissions in China are very competitive but not for foreigners. In fact they are very uncompetitive.
I highly recommend coming, it will be a breath of fresh air, as someone who has applied for a master's in The US and China, the differences are night and day. If you really have money apply to cheap language courses to get your feet wet. here is an example
