Group 2: Cultural Exchange and Reflection - The interaction between Sinologists and the Chinese academic community provides a unique perspective for reflecting on China from an external viewpoint, fostering deeper cultural exchanges [3]. - Sinology embodies a dialogue between cultures and an internal reflection within cultures, as articulated by German Sinologist Hans-Ulrich Gumbrecht [3]. - The establishment of the Global Youth Sinology Center at Renmin University signifies a commitment to the ongoing legacy and evolution of Sinology, highlighting its inherent qualities of cultural exchange [3].
