Who is this course for?
This course is designed for students who want to know the national conditions of China.
Ancient China created one of the greatest human civilizations. The Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, the Forbidden City and many other achievements are known to the whole world as the best representatives of Chinese civilization. But that was yesterday. Today’s China is making new achievements. Steadfastly following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Chinese people have achieved economics, political and cultural prosperity through over 40 years of reform and opening up. More importantly, China is exploring a new model for long-expected harmonious development of its people and Nature.
This course gives the students a comprehensive look at the yesterday, today and tomorrow of this huge and important country. We hope you will learn about, feel and understand China through this course.
