Among the more than 70 presentations, Dr. Jiang Feng, the university council chair of Shanghai International Studies University (SISU), reported on “University Governance and Talent Training.” He said that because of domestic comprehensive reform and increasing exchanges, China has accelerated the pace of international integration and promotes the responsibility of participating in global governance. With the increasingly urgent needs of Chinese and international cultural exchanges, a large number of international competitive talents with good professional quality and global governance ability is necessary, he said.
