Symposium on China Studies
The annual Symposium on China Studies was first held in 2013, and was organized by the Ministry of Culture of China, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Center of International Cultural Exchange. It was designed to boost cultural exchanges between Chinese scholars and Sinologists from other countries, as well as promote Sinology studies.
The 2017 Symposium on China Studies was unveiled in Beijing on July 24.
Twenty-six Sinologists from across 22 countries attended the forum, along with 19 domestic scholars and Sinologists from the Visiting Program for Young Sinologists in Zhengzhou.
The forum, themed "Belt and Road Initiative in a Global View", included three panel sessions – traditional culture and contemporary China, Chinese solution and global governance, and mutual development and common values – which ran until July 25.
