From July 9th to 15th, our school successfully held the 2018 Taiwan Trade Union Youth Seminar. On the afternoon of July 14th, the seminar camp report meeting and graduation ceremony was successfully held in classroom 508 of the Beijing campus. Peng Yong, secretary-general of the China Workers Exchange Center, and Wu Wanxiong, vice president of the school, attended the event. Relevant leaders of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Office of the China Workers Exchange Center, relevant staff of the school's foreign affairs office and all seminar campers attended the event.

Vice president Wu Wanxiong affirmed the way in which the youths from mainland and Taiwan study together and participate in research, praised the report results of the seminar, and put forward earnest expectations for cross-strait youths' mutual integration and strengthening of communication and exchanges in his speech.

During the seminar, 15 teachers and students from the School of Trade Unions, Department of Labor Relations, and Department of Public Administration of our school were divided into 5 research groups with Taiwan youths , respectively focusing on cross-strait integration and development and opportunities for Taiwan’s youth labor, the role of labor in 40 years of reform and opening up in the mainland, the exploration of labor relations and labor union work in the mainland, the inheritance and promotion of labor spirit on both mainland and Taiwan, and the integration of respective ethnic culture from the same origin with the labor spirit of both sides of the strait. Through the combination of special lectures, field visits, exchanges and seminars, literature surveys, and life experience, students gained extensive understanding and conducted targeted research on selected topics, eventually forming group research reports for display at the report meeting while forging a deep friendship between mainland and Taiwan students.

The 2018 Taiwan Trade Union Youth Seminar is an important measure taken by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions to implement the important thoughts of General Secretary Jin Ping and the latest spirit of the Central Committee on Taiwan affairs. The theme of "Integraded Development Benefits Youths in the New Era with New Opportunities" highlights the concept of cross-strait integrated development and encourages Taiwan youths to study, find employment, start businesses and live in the mainland. This event explores the characteristics of trade unions and innovates communication methods to allow Taiwan youths experience real life in the mainland, cultivate friendship with mainland youths, and jointly delve into the responsibility and task of youths in advancing peaceful reunification of Taiwan and realizing the Chinese dream of the Great Rejuvenation. This seminar is the first time our school has undertaken this activity.
