Students find unity in Chinese lessons

Competition helping narrow gaps and differences, promote global outlook

HANOI - Learning Chinese is helping students in Vietnam better understand concepts such as international relations and promoting cooperation.

"In an increasingly connected world today, I think that studying Chinese helps bring people together, and with the mindset of 'One world, one family,' we will build a better world together," Hanoi University student Le Anh Duc said on Friday after winning the Northern Vietnam qualifying competition of the 17th "Chinese Bridge", the annual Chinese proficiency competition for foreign college students.
