From Dec 1-7, 2024, the "2024 China-ASEAN Future Vocational Star Camp" was held in Yantai. Co-hosted by relevant bodies and organized by Yantai Vocational College, it enriched Chinese-ASEAN youth exchanges.

32 ASEAN students from 7 institutions in multiple provinces, including Shaanxi, were selected. Five Indonesian students from Shaanxi Polytechnic Institute joined. They served as exchange envoys.

At the opening, Yang Rui of the China Education Assoc. for Int'l Exchange noted 2024 as the China-ASEAN People-to-People and Cultural Exchanges Year, with this camp key to youth cooperation.

During the week, students visited factories, tried Jiaodong paper-cutting and calligraphy, and engaged in dialogue salons.
