Celebrating 10 years of building links

Organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters in Beijing, the Chinese Bridge Chinese-proficiency contests are three annual competitions for foreign college students, foreign secondary school students and other foreign learners around the world.

The first Chinese Bridge competition was held in 2002 for foreign college students. In 2008, the competition was expanded to include foreign high schoolers. And in 2014, the competition was expanded again to include other foreign Chinese speakers around the world.

This year marked the 10th Chinese Bridge Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students.
