Intl students showcase business acumen at Shanghai competition

Lee Sung-bok, a South Korean student at SUFE, worked alongside peers from Malaysia and Panama.

"While our cultural differences initially posed challenges, they ultimately became our strength," Lee said.

"Our team's multilingual capabilities in English, Korean, and Spanish proved to be a strategic advantage."

Lee emphasized the role of AI assistance during the competition, citing the AI coach's practical strategic guidance.

"China's rapid AI development is remarkable. The future lies in human-AI collaboration," he said.

"This simulation has been an invaluable learning experience," said Aicha Souly, a Moroccan student at Beijing International Studies University.

"The one-hour rounds were intense, requiring rapid analysis of numbers, calculations, forecasting, and competitive strategy assessment."

Her teammate, Mishel Zahid from Pakistan, reflected on her experience: "My studies in China have provided deep insights into the competitive, fast-paced nature of global markets, enhancing my ability to analyze international business trends with greater confidence and expertise."
