The World Sinology Center at the Beijing Language and Culture University, launched in the West Coast New Area of Qingdao, Shandong Province, is expected to become a new international hub of China studies.

As a cooperation project between the university and the government of the new area, the center will integrate advantageous resources from both sides, with sinologists from more than 100 countries speaking 67 languages from the former, and abundant resources of internationalized talent from the latter. Qingdao mirrors China's opening-up policy and has a unique position in terms of cultural exchange.

With more than 200,000 alumni working or studying around the world, the Beijing Language and Culture University has prominent advantages in global Chinese education and the promotion of exchange between China and other cultures. The center is committed to contributing to helping build a shared future for mankind, as well as promoting cultural exchange and mutual understanding. It will also add lasting strength and stability to global academic cooperation. Further establishment of the center will provide impetus to open up a new horizon of research and bring traditional Chinese culture to the world, which is vital to the sustainable development of Sinology.

The World Sinology Center features a knowledge center, a translation center, a research center, a writing center, and a conference center, where experts from around the world will get to better understand China, tell its stories, and have a clearer understanding of Chinese culture.
