Program history

Since 2016, the East China University of Political Science and Law has undertaken the Chinese Political and Legal Culture Program of Shanghai Summer School, which is a summer practice course with finding the source of Chinese culture and thought, practicing the political and legal civilization of contemporary times as the main goal, and focusing on overseas college students as the target group.

Program goals

As China's foreign economic and trade exchanges continue to grow, there is a need to address the lack of accurate understanding of China's democratic rule of law in the international community. Efforts are being made to educate students about Chinese culture and ideology, particularly among elite youth from neighboring countries, especially those involved in the Belt and Road Initiative. Additionally, there is a focus on showcasing the practical achievements in contemporary Chinese social governance and the development of its legal system, while also promoting a positive image of China's legal society through the introduction of captivating Chinese culture and ideas to international students.
