      U.S. students savor cultural exchange week in Jiangsu

      The Collegiate Immersion Bootcamp for U.S.-based Institutions recently kicked off in east China's Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, drawing participants from eight American universities.

      Throughout the week-long bootcamp, 90 teachers and students will take part in a variety of activities in Jiangsu's multiple cities. Students will also engage in lectures and seminars, sharing insights on global concerns from a younger perspective.

      "I really like this program because it does allow these newer generations, these younger faces to see different aspects of everything. And that's really important because it harvests these people-to-people connections, and we get to see how other people think and then use those to create these new ideas for the future," said Linden, an American college student.

      In addition to academic engagements, students have enjoyed diverse cultural activities and field visits, experiencing the charm of the province's ancient water towns.

      "I've always been very interested in Chinese culture and Chinese history. I have loved it even as we are walking around. I've always been focused on the food and the architecture. And that's what I know about the most. So, this has been one of the best trips I've ever been on. China has been an incredible place to visit, and we are only seeing a small part of the country. But I can imagine that there's so much more culture, history, and interesting parts to explore. So, it's definitely worth coming out here and taking a look," said Kyle, another student participant.

      The bootcamp, aimed at fostering mutual understanding and people-to-people connections between China and the U.S., is part of China’s initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China on exchange and study programs in the next five years, which was announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco on November 2023.

      The Russian Ministry of Defense said that over the past 24 hours, its forces had seized the village of Zapadne on the western bank of the Oskil River, which used to form the front line between the Ukrainian and Russian armies.

      The ministry also said the Russian forces had successfully repelled Ukrainian counterattacks and launched offensives in the directions of Kharkiv, Avdiivka, Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson.

      The air defense forces shot down 114 Ukrainian drones, and the Russian forces had continued to strike Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region, it said.
