This October, TBC is excited to be a Beijing partner of the CHINA Town Hall event series, held by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. We invite you to join us on Oct 12 from 7:00 am to 9:00 am CST, for the 2023 CHINA Town Hall program, which will feature Ambassador Burns in conversation with the National Committee on U.S. – China Relations President Stephen Orlins, followed by an on-site discussion moderated by TBC Director Simon Koo about U.S.-China relations and its impact on Higher Education in China.
We will kick off the event by tuning into the CHINA Town Hall webcast, where leading experts will shed light on the current state of U.S.-China relations. Following the webcast, we will dive into a dynamic discussion exploring the implications, challenges, and opportunities for higher education in China within this evolving global context.

Over this past weekend, some of our students enrolled at Minzu University of China took their annual Spring Outing – this year, to Gubei Water Town. Situated about a 2-hour drive northeast of Beijing, the April weather made it absolutely perfect to explore for a spring outing. It surrounds various canals and offshoots of Yuanyang lake.
If you ever want to get a taste of Old Beijing, by far one of the best ways is to visit the hutongs. They’ve conceptually been around all the way since the 1200s, and in their most modern forms exist as protected alleyways and streets surrounded by old traditional houses and neighborhoods in the heart of Beijing and are recognized in China to be an important part of cultural heritage in the city.
