In order to help international students in China gain a deeper understanding of the development prospects of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, carry out career planning as soon as possible, and clarify future directions, on December 9, 2025, the International College of Guangzhou Huashang University invited Wang Fan, General Manager of Business Partner (Guangdong) International Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., and Qin Zhuonan, General Manager of Guangzhou Youfang International Labor Service Co., Ltd., to hold a career planning symposium for international students in China at Room 413 of Qizhi Building. This event is open to all international students from 13 countries who came to China for the first time at our university. International College Dean Hui Yanyan, counselor Hao Zixiu, teaching secretary Chen Jiaxin and other teachers attended the event together.
General Manager Wang Fan introduced the comprehensive advantages of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area in terms of location, industry, policies, and openness under the theme of "Career Development of International Students in China". He emphasized that the region serves as an important platform connecting China and the world market, providing a broad stage for international talents. He pointed out that international students studying in China have a dual cultural background and can play a unique role as a "bridge between China and foreign countries", with diverse development paths in employment, entrepreneurship, and cross-border business. Based on the company's years of experience serving foreign businesses, Wang Fan further analyzed how to "empower personal brands through social media e-commerce" and expand new business opportunities for international students studying in China in the digital economy era. He suggested that students take the initiative to conduct business research, actively expand industry networks, continuously improve their business Chinese proficiency, make good use of local and international resources, and encourage everyone to explore and practice in areas such as cross-border e-commerce.
Qin Zhuonan, General Manager of Guangzhou Youfang International Labor Service Co., Ltd., introduced the company's work in supporting Chinese enterprises to go global, local employee training, visa services, and legal consulting to international students studying in China. As an important bridge connecting domestic labor and overseas job markets, Manager Qin's sharing provides new perspectives and feasible ideas for innovation and entrepreneurship for international students studying in China.
Subsequently, the international students had in-depth exchanges and interactions with two corporate executives on topics such as personal entrepreneurship, development in China, and Sino foreign trade.
Dean Hui Yanyan emphasized in his concluding speech that international students studying in China should cherish the valuable opportunity to learn in China, make full use of classroom and spare time to improve their Chinese language skills, study seriously and gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture, actively participate in activities such as corporate visits and social research, and strive to grow into an effective bridge and link between China and foreign countries during the four-year study period. At the same time, she pointed out that in addition to professional skills, more attention should be paid to shaping personal character and striving to become a reliable and trustworthy person - this is an important foundation for entering society and growing into a business leader in the future.
The content of this symposium is pragmatic and forward-looking, not only revealing the opportunities in the fields of social media and cross-border e-commerce, but also providing clear guidance for international students to plan their careers and play a role as cultural bonds. Against the backdrop of accelerating the construction of an international first-class bay area in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, such exchange activities that integrate global perspectives and practical experience are injecting new impetus into the cultivation and gathering of international talents.
