During a time when travel was difficult, I was able to meet students and professionals from all around the world to discuss global challenges and the role of China within it. I value the connections I made with future leaders and impact-makers with China competence.

Highlights from the #YenchingGlobalSymposium 2019. Including Out session on Transnational Development from a Gendered Perspective @CarmaChina Always good to interact with students.

YGS Day 3: Looking Forward

The final day of #YenchingGlobalSymposium was full of intellectually charged panel discussions related to multipolar world, Covid-19 crisis, subnational actors in IR and climate change, besides sociocultural events and networking amongst delegates.

Always great to be back among bright, curious and idealistic students. This time at the #YenchingGlobalSymposium at @PKUYCA speaking on “Transnational Development from a Gendered Perspective “. Privilege to share the stage with the inimitable @CarmaChina.

“AI is centralizing, and blockchain is decentralizing. AI is Communist, while blockchain is Libertarian. Which way is technology going?”

One of our reporters, Masha, talked about the future of technology in China at the 2018 #YenchingGlobalSymposium last week!

It was a pleasure to participate in the @PKU1898 @PKUYCA Yenching Global Symposium as part of a panel discussing the timely theme “Tackling Climate Change in an Era of (Inter)nationalism”. Great questions & engagement from delegates. yenchingsymposium.org #ygs2022

Ms YingYing truly made it worthwhile to sit through this session on Cultural Intelligence for Bridging the East-West Divides should be a modulenow especiallygiven the current political & geopolitical realities. #YGS2022 inspired to pen something on CQ & post colonial tendencies

(1/2)Quite an intellectually stimulating panel discussion today on "Comparative Philosophies in a Globalising World" at @YGS_Info
Key takeaways:
-Confucianism has a rich history and multifaceted elements.
-West has been disregarding non-Western philosophical streams.
