This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Over the past 10 years, China's high-speed rail, logistics and infrastructure have frequently "gone out of the circle" overseas, and more and more projects have improved the people's livelihood and well-being of the country, and also provided more opportunities for Chinese young people to appear on the international stage.
Recently, the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily jointly responded to the questionnaire network (wenjuancom) conducted a survey of 2,001 young people, 750% of the young people surveyed believe that the "Belt and Road" will be a new outlet for employment and entrepreneurship in the next 10 years, and the tourism industry and logistics industry are the most optimistic, and half of the young people surveyed will consider joining the "Belt and Road" construction as a career development goal and put it into action.
More than seventy percent of the young people surveyed believe that the "Belt and Road" will be a new outlet for employment and entrepreneurship in the next 10 years.
In October this year, the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation was held in Beijing, and Chen Ziyun, a fourth-year student majoring in Russian at Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, participated in the forum as a volunteer. She said that the most impressive thing was the scene on the day of the opening ceremony, when leaders from various countries and heads of international organizations gathered together to discuss future development, which made her deeply feel the vitality of China's diplomacy.
As a foreign language student, Chen Ziyun found that as China continues to expand its opening up, many countries along the Belt and Road have paid more attention to "China's intelligent manufacturing", and "the high-tech field will usher in vigorous development in the future".
Jiang Qianhui, who graduated from Sichuan University with a master's degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages, came to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in October this year to engage in Chinese teaching through the "100 Schools Project" to Chinese teaching in the United Arab Emirates (hereinafter referred to as "UAE"). Jiang Qianhui introduced that after the Chinese was included in the UAE's national education system, the country's Ministry of Education recruited many Chinese teachers, providing a platform for those engaged in Chinese as a foreign language and opportunities to go out and participate in the "Belt and Road".
According to the survey, 750% of the young people surveyed believe that the "Belt and Road" will bring new outlets for employment and entrepreneurship. Interaction analysis found that the proportion of post-00 respondents who agreed with this was higher, at 801%；In terms of location, respondents from the Northeast region had the highest percentage of respondents agreeing with each other, at 840%, followed by East China (78.).9%）。
Zhang Yizhi, a post-00s graduate student majoring in English interpreting at the School of Foreign Chinese of Central South University, feels that with the deepening of cooperation between China and other countries around the world, the translation industry will have more prospects for development. "In addition, I think cross-border e-commerce will also develop well in the future. Zhang Yizhi once visited an e-commerce company in Changsha, Hunan Province, which mainly targets the African market, sells Chinese products overseas through the Internet, and also builds a trading platform for merchants and buyers in Africa.
In the context of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, what industry prospects are you optimistic about?According to the survey, more than half of the young people surveyed chose the tourism industry and the logistics industry, with a selection rate of 515% and 506%。In addition, 491% of the young people surveyed are optimistic about infrastructure construction, 475% of the young people surveyed are optimistic about cross-border e-commerce, 466% of the young people surveyed are optimistic about the traditional foreign trade industry. Others: Translation (39.)5%), big data (379%), Chinese as a foreign language (34.).1%), artificial intelligence (308%), financial investment (277%), new energy (27.).1%), etc.
I am very optimistic about the development of the foreign trade industry. Jiang Qianhui said that in recent years, China has exported many high-quality and cost-effective items to other countries, and he can often see Chinese brands and Chinese-made items abroad. She feels that in the context of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, the contacts between China and other countries will be more frequent, especially in the economic field, which will promote the export of more Chinese products overseas. As a graduate majoring in Chinese as a foreign language, Jiang Qianhui hopes that with the continuous expansion of the circle of friends along the "Belt and Road", it can provide a broader platform and more opportunities for talents majoring in Chinese as a foreign language to study and work.
In 2008, after graduating from graduate school, Liu Luo went to work on the project in the United Arab Emirates, and he introduced that his own China Petroleum Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. will purchase a lot of materials and equipment from China every year, which has stimulated the export of related equipment from domestic companies. In addition, many workers involved in the construction of the project are also from domestic construction units, "as the talent of engineering construction related industries goes international, such as construction, materials and equipment**, and financial services industry, there will be more development opportunities in the future." ”
What are the attractions of work related to the Belt and Road Initiative?The young people surveyed preferred a promising career path.
My job opportunity was brought about by the Belt and Road Initiative. Jiang Qianhui said that although the UAE and ours have different cultural backgrounds, it is also a modern and tolerant country. Going abroad through the "Belt and Road" gives Jiang Qianhui the opportunity to work, live and study with people from different countries and nationalities. "In the next few years, I plan to work here and do my PhD at the same time. ”
Zhang Yizhi noticed some time ago during the autumn recruitment that some companies have released some expatriate jobs to station and dock projects in different countries, "If I have the opportunity to work abroad, it will definitely broaden my horizons." Zhang Yizhi said that he has been living in China for many years, and hopes to have the opportunity to visit foreign countries and experience the different language, culture and social atmosphere.
What are the attractions of work related to the Belt and Road Initiative?According to the survey, the top choice of young people surveyed has broad prospects for career development, with a selection rate of 566%, in addition, has an international platform (534%), higher salaries (52.).1%), which also had more than half of the awards. Others: more diverse employment options (462%), overseas work experience (44.).2%), improve professional skills (38.).1%), can broaden personal horizons (307%), etc.
With 15 years of overseas work experience, Liu Luofu has grown and matured a lot. "On the one hand, the language communication ability has been greatly improved, and on the other hand, the ability to manage international engineering projects has been improved. "For young people, participating in the Belt and Road Initiative will not only closely integrate their career development with the national strategy, but also participate in the global market competition, which will make them more professionally competitive." ”
Lu Yang, a researcher at the Institute of Belt and Road Strategy at Tsinghua University, paid attention to the list of achievements of the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held some time ago, such as the "Beijing Initiative for International Cooperation on the Digital Economy of the Belt and Road", the "Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative", and the "Beijing Initiative for Green Development of the Belt and Road", which mentioned keywords such as digital economy, green development, and artificial intelligence. "If young people are interested, they can pay more attention to the areas mentioned in these initiatives and outcomes, and look for employment and entrepreneurship opportunities from them according to their own conditions. ”
According to the survey, 505% of the young people surveyed will consider joining the "Belt and Road" construction as a career development goal and put it into action, 40Eight percent of the young people surveyed said they would consider it, but it was estimated that it would be difficult to implement.
After graduation, Chen Ziyun will work in the diplomatic field, and expatriate will occupy a certain proportion of her work. "When I applied for the exam, I was looking forward to the expatriate assignment, not only to experience the foreign culture, but also to tell the Chinese story well and contribute to the exchange between China and foreign countries. ”
Chen Ziyun said that his Russian major has a close connection with the "Belt and Road", "Not long ago, our school held a special talent training lecture on the "Belt and Road", for students who want to engage in translation, they can enter relevant enterprises as foreign affairs specialists. Chen Ziyun also mentioned that many positions now need compound talents, and there are many students with language majors around him who are in the graduate school level, cross-examination for business, law, economics, international relations and other majors, and also have friends engaged in the "Belt and Road" countries to teach Chinese as a foreign language. "The Belt and Road Initiative provides a platform for young people, and we look forward to more young people devoting themselves to the construction projects of China and some developing countries, and contributing the strength of Chinese youth to the construction of a 'community with a shared future for mankind'." ”
Lu Yang believes that the Belt and Road Initiative not only provides development opportunities for young people in China, but also provides more diversified development paths for young people abroad. For example, since 2017, the Ministry of Education has set up the "Silk Road" China** Scholarship, which is mainly to subsidize students from the "Belt and Road" countries to study in China, provide support for them to study and live in China, encourage them to learn China's experience, language and culture, and sow the seeds of friendship. "After graduation, some of these international students return to China, while others stay in China to work, which has become an important bridge for communication between China and these countries, making China's ties with other countries and regions closer and smoother. ”
