Ningxia Explores New Pathways for China-Arab Cultural and People-to-People Exchange

Yinchuan, Ningxia, August 2 — Recently, in connection with new practices in ChineseArab humanistic exchange, Ningxia has continued to explore language education, cultural dissemination, and the application of technology. Practitioners from Ningxia University, cultural enterprises, and media organizations shared their specific experiences in exchanges with Arab countries. A graduate of Ningxia University’s Arabic major said that when promoting Chinese books to Arab readers, he could feel that local readers’ interest in Chinese culture was not limited to traditional impressions, but had extended to broader areas such as traditional Chinese medicine and modern life. In this regard, the School of Arabic Studies at Ningxia University, through visitingstudy programs such as “3+1” and “2+1,” helps students study in countries including Egypt and Morocco, enabling them to understand the culture behind the language in realworld settings. In terms of talent development, Ningxia University’s Arabic major is exploring a model of “language + regional and country studies,” encouraging students to develop in directions such as regional and country studies, international relations, and ChineseArab trade and publishing. Meanwhile, the Silk Road Communication Center of Ningxia Radio and Television Station introduced that before Chinese film and television works enter the Arab market, they are screened and discussed according to content type and local broadcasting rules in order to improve communication suitability. The article also mentioned that artificial intelligence is improving translation and dubbing efficiency, but accurately conveying cultural connotations still requires human review and crosscultural judgment. Industry insiders believe that technology can expand the reach of communication, but truly “understanding each other” still depends on people who understand both the language and the culture.
