Japan's youth cherish China experiences

Students fascinated by high technology and cultural heritage during their visits

Japanese students expressed a strong desire to gain a true understanding of China and to foster mutual respect and friendship between the people of Japan and China at an event held in Tokyo on Wednesday.

Representatives from the "100 Japanese University Students Visiting China" program, who visited China this year, gathered to share insights from their trips.

The program, launched this year, was hosted by the Chinese embassy in Japan. A total of 100 people visited Sichuan province in March and Shanghai in September through this program, with the majority being Japanese university students.
