On September 14, 2014, at the invitation of Nanyang Technological University, over 30 MPA students of UIBE attended Lien scholar’s speech activities on China’s development at China National Convention Center. Mr. Mo Rong, Director-General of Institute of International Labor and Social Security of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China, delivered the keynote speech on China’s employment situation. In his one-and-half hour speech, he analyzed the changes of graduates’ degree structure in the past few years and pointed out the fierce situation facing China’s employment. He illustrated on how macro economy would affect employment and shed light on the structural contradiction in China’s employment and predictions on its development trend in the future were made by Mr. Mo at the end of his speech.




After his speech, DuanWentao, MPA student of UIBE majored in customs, raised a question in the Q&A session. The constructive exchange between them also brought new perspectives to the whole audience.



Students saw this activity as rare opportunities for them to learn, saying that academic seminars outside the campus would greatly promote themselves and hoping more activities like this would be offered.
