This course gave me in-depth knowledge to help me do business in China better. I particularly enjoyed the module on Chinese government planning, where I learnt about China's five-year planning process, a central pillar in China's economic planning cycle. I have done a few post-graduate courses from various universities and higher learning institutions worldwide, but nothing compares to the rich and diverse learning I experienced at Tsinghua.

GEPC has been an eye opening and enriching journey with very bright minds in the form of professors, industry experts as well as classmates. Working in a Technology Multinational company of Chinese origins today present unprecedented challenges. GEPC has helped to provide a structured framework towards gaining insight on how to approach these unique set of challenges whilst providing a peek into what the exciting future holds from autonomous driving to metaverse. It has cemented my view that we indeed stand at a crossroad in history, and it is up to this generation to create better days for the next.

GEPC opens the door to discovering the Chinese innovation ecosystem. Through an amazing teaching quality and a rich network of faculty and alumni at Tsinghua, I have not only strengthened my skills but also broadened my network. I have got a deeper knowledge of where the whole innovation ecosystem is going, where the Chinese VC funds are really investing, and where government R&D support might create future opportunity. Understanding the ecosystem and having the knowledge of the Chinese culture as well as local people help me improve my work in China.
