In the past two weeks, overseas students have learned cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, Internet of things and blockchain at Zhejiang University, and visited the IT industry representative companies, such as Alibaba, Huawei, Netease, State Street, and Ant Financial. They also experienced traditional Chinese culture such as the tea ceremony and Chinese martial arts. They fully felt the enthusiasm of the people in Zhejiang University, the feelings of the people in Zhejiang University and the real level of scientific research in Zhejiang University, which can attract more graduate students from the world's top universities to come to Zhejiang University for exchange and study, thus improving the international reputation and influence of Zhejiang University.
