Pictorial Report on 2012 China GPS Program by New Zealand's Hannah Lobb and Tim Wang
The China Global Positioning Studies Program (Summer) is a 12-day intensive study and discussion program concentrating on how China perceives and is pursuing its new role in global leadership. Cohosted by the School of Foreign Studies at the Central University of Finance and Economics (SFS/CUFE) in Beijing and the VTM Foundation International, teams of students and educators from around the Pacific Rim join their counterparts in China for a peer-to-peer, collaborative learning process mentored by China’s business leaders, think tank experts, cultural directors and the Beijing-based diplomats representing China's top trading partners.
As deputy directors of this program, we are proud to share this experience with you. Being New Zealanders and global citizens, this has been a unique opportunity to connect with likeminded young leaders from around the Asia-Pacific region. This journey has not only been formative but also incredibly unforgettable and we hope that you will be able to join us for the next program.
