What they say:

"I studied at SISU for six years and this to me was not just a learning phase but also a journey of personal and academic development. I've worked in journalism for over 30 years. All my work is closely related to international communication and global exchange."

Jiang Heping, director of China Global Television Network America

"In my work related to modern technologies, I find it necessary to be knowledgeable about foreign languages. A critical issue we now face in dealing with the Belt and Road Initiative is cultural differences. I hope SISU will play a more significant role in this respect. I also hope all students will work hard in their university years so that they can make greater contributions to China after they graduate."

Zhu Gaofeng, academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former vice-minister of Posts and Telecommunications

"As China is now embracing a new era of development, we all feel honored to be part of the great endeavor to make our country stronger. We are proud of the historic tasks given to us. I wish that SISU, my alma mater, will produce more excellent talent needed for China's further development."

Zhang Hanhui, Chinese ambassador to Russia and former vice-minister of Foreign Affairs

"Thank you SISU, my alma mater, for helping me develop strong language skills so that I can regularly communicate with the world. Because of this, I have found many new opportunities, along with a new vision and goals, to further develop myself while serving the nation in return."
