Big spurt in China-UK educational links

LONDON - The year 2017 was a year of thriving exchanges and cooperation in education between China and Britain, said Chinese Ambassador to Britain Liu Xiaoming.

At a grand gala on Feb 7 attended by nearly 2,000 people, including Chinese students, scholars and heads from British universities, to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, Liu compared China-UK educational exchanges and cooperation to a symphony.

He said, first, the "main theme" of the symphony is loud and clear: Such cooperation enjoys full government backing from both countries.
