Over 600 representatives from 297 universities, enterprises, and educational institutions in 35 countries (regions) participated in this annual event of the Smart Education Branch both online and offline. They discussed cutting-edge digital and intelligent technologies, application achievements, and future trends, and jointly painted a beautiful blueprint for the innovative development of the digital and intelligent transformation in international Chinese education.

Qin Jingjun, Dean of the School of International Education of SXPI, was invited to attend the conference. Under the topic of "International Cooperation and Services of 'Chinese+Vocational Education'", with the title of "Exploration and Practice of the Training Model for International Students in Vocational Colleges Integrating Industry and Education with 'Chinese+Vocational Skills'", he shared the work experience of SXPI in cultivating international students in an industry-education integration model, which was well-received by the participants.

In his speech, Dean Qin Jingjun analyzed and sorted out the necessity and policy basis for vocational colleges to cultivate international students with "Chinese+vocational skills". He also shared his views on how Chinese vocational colleges can cultivate international students differently from undergraduate institutions. Taking Shaanxi Province and SXPI as examples, he introduced the construction experience, achievements, and existing problems of the training system for international students with "Chinese+vocational skills". Looking ahead, he also discussed how to carry out international education of "Chinese+vocational skills" by centering on enterprises' "going global" strategy and taking "vocational education going global" as a starting point.
