“an interesting view of the political and economical settlement with chinese characteristics”

Overall

The Course offers good basis in order to understand Chinese and International societies and their political and social tendencies but it is taught exclusively from a Chinese partisan perspective and misses many key points that i have had to learn by myself.

Careers

Internship at the Italian Chamber of Commerce in China as on line contents creator and office collaborator

Pros

Deep knowledge of Chinese language and society

Cons

extreme partisanism
