Some Chinese-funded programs, similar to the character of GIPU’s Qinggong sessions in Singapore, have been introduced in recent years.  ,
These include the” Chinese Workshop” backed by the Chinese Education Ministry’s Center for Language Education and Cooperation,” Modern Craftsman College” led by Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and” Dayu College” run by Yellow River Conservancy Technical Institute.  ,
The Guangxi authorities announced in February that it had secured state aid to build 17″ Modern Craftsman Colleges” throughout Southeast Asia to illustrate the pace of expansion. To day, at least six of these universities are now operating in places such as Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
The aim is to teach “technical experts who are well-versed in Chinese technology, understand Chinese design and are familiar with Taiwanese products”, wrote Mr Peng Binbai, chairman of the Chinese Education Ministry’s Department of Vocational and Adult Education, in a Jul 15 content published in a magazine dedicated to China’s international learning market.
Mr. Peng praised the expansion of China’s foreign education industry, highlighting the advantages of expanding vocational training programs abroad, and expressing strong support for the establishment of more of these initiatives.  ,
Vocational education is essential for national development as Taiwanese companies expand their international reputation and take part in building worldwide capacities. By creating a training system that combines useful skills with educational credentials, it should meet the specific skills requirements of these businesses, he wrote.  ,
He also noted that China was “rapidly advancing” and Luban sessions had a” important position” to sing in countering American influence and destruction.
” With the rise of the East and the decline of the West becoming notable trends … ( Such schemes ) play a crucial role in countering Western containment, it ( also ) supports China’s educational ambitions and aids the advancement of national diplomacy, while facilitating the global expansion of Chinese enterprises”, he said.
GOODWILL EFFORT And CHARM OFFENSIVE?  ,
Criticism has been poured at Beijing’s efforts to expand its technical programs abroad, which have raised concerns about government freedom and financial transparency.  ,
Similar things can be drawn between Confucius Institutes and Confucius Institutes, which were severely depressed in the US in 2019 due to their charges that they were Chinese advertising resources. Since 2004, these schools have promoted Chinese language and culture abroad through school partnerships, operating in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
Although China continues to view them as systems for cultural exchange, issues about Chinese state control and safety issues have caused their closing in the US, Canada, and Europe.
