The 2023 Understanding China Conference Is Set to Kick Off in Guangzhou China

The short video collection and exhibition, "China in the Eyes of the Young —Chinese and Foreign Short Videos Screening and Award Ceremony", aims at gathering superior resources from overseas and promoting the initiative and enthusiasm of global youth in focusing on and telling Chinese stories. The event invites young creative teams, major universities, and individuals to collect excellent short video works with global vision.

During the conference, CIIDS will partner with China Global Television Network (CGTN) to co-host a special event where distinguished guests with different backgrounds share their stories on how to understand China, each from their own perspective. They included Yves Leterme, former Belgian Prime Minister; Moon Chung-in, chairman of Sejong Institute in South Korea; Martin Jacques, renowned China expert; Mushahid Hussain Syed, chairman of the Defense Committee of the Pakistani Senate; Wang Jian, academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering; and Vikram Channa, vice president of Content at Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific.

The Stories of China Retold in EnglishChallenge is gearing up for another round. This event provides a platform for young people to promote Chinese culture through English recitation, creative speeches, dramatic monologues, or showcasing Chinese talents.
