Okay, group number 16, you may start. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this episode of Globalization. I'm your host, Christina.

Today we are focusing on a very special forum that happened at the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. In this case, China announced its commitment to establish Lubang workshops in Africa. A growing number of countries see it and join this transformation intercultural journey. I think it is a very good example to help us understand more about intercultural communication So today my and my I and my partners will develop this case for you to help us understand more about intercultural communication So today I and my partners will develop this case for you to help you have a deeper understanding of the intercultural management theory So this is my partner, David, and this is my partner, Faril.

Today we are going to show you a very special TV show. Okay, in this case, Africa, the 10 Luban shops have done very gratefully in Africa. So could that be summed up in a few keywords for our audience to learn something from it? I think here are three perspectives. The first perspective is the workshop brings a lot to local people physically and mentally.

Second is that it successfully uses the theory of particle orientation developed by the Hofty's. And it shows Chinese great development in the intercultural communication with the background by expanding the awareness, adaptation, and sincere respect. Oh, that. You just mentioned the practical orientation theory developed by Hofstad.

So I want Farir to explain this for us first. Could you please tell something? Of course. According to the video clipping and the interview by these African young men, we can see that their previous courses and the education received is mostly about the theoretical part. But the Chinese intelligence Lubang workshop brings them a lot of things more about practical orientations, like help them to practice the exact same stuff mechanism, help them understand how it works.

So it provides them a brand new cultural intelligence to help them to understand the spirit of teamwork and cooperation better during their businesses and their practices. Yes, you just mentioned the practical management it uses in Africa, like it develops some abilities and gives them the true intercultural management, some theories.

that's that's your explanation so what about how their influence how do the case influence the African people from mentally and physically okay I think the workshop provide a transcendent walking environment both physically and mentally it allows people here to traveling a lot with a better equipment it's also the people works here can enhance their confidence to find a job of their training.

Yes, let me sum up for him that physically it's China give the true techniques to the African shops and mentally it also give confidence to the local people because when there is many jobs that requires high technologies but the African people they lost their confidence but when China gives a case give the Lu Ban workshop to them it also gives the confidence to them that oh we are also able to fit for the jobs and it helps their lives giving better that's right yes yes from my perspective I want to explain the third is it shows China China's great development in the intercultural communiment with the background of globalization by explaining the cultural intelligence that is awareness, adaptability, and sincere respect.

Because there is a saying in China that if you give someone fish, it just only get the fish. If you tell him how to fish, it can benefit for the full life. So I think the Luban workshop demonstrates this theory very importantly and precisely. So we all know the case that it has three benefits but we are very confused how we can do this intercultural management Could you just give some solutions to our audience I think David got his opinions So, mostly I think these strategies can be summed up during our intro just now, and we can learn that...

I think you can compare it to the Dauphin Sea. To the Dauphin Sea? Yeah. Yeah, of course, I think this Chinese institution, the Lukan Workshop, helps the local team, brings them the empowerment and helps them to understand better with the teamwork spirit. So briefly, they help the local African people and young generations to help them divide their work into different sectors like railway, logistics, trade and management, help them to achieve a comprehensive development.

So I think we still got some few ideas about the cultural intelligence that Chinese institution brings to the African communities. So do you have some ideas about it? Okay, let me share the cultural intelligence. Thank you. In this case, the mutual respect I think is the most important because we know that in Africa, their life conditions is very, is not very rich.

Yes, so I think China get to the local and they do very perfectly and empower the local teams. They didn't perceive it like the clients and they view them as friends. And we can see in the video that the local people, they are very thankful for our China. I think it is very grateful for our inter-culture management. So the last solution I want Debbie to share to you and as a conclusion for our case.

I think it's this workshop divided in sectors differently includes a railway, logistic, trend and management. It's developed comprehensive development. Yeah, and do you still remember how this African young man to compare our spirit and cultural intelligence with their own identity.

I still remember that they called this Chinese Lu Ban spirit as the Chinese version of Da Vinci. So it's actually this road and belt initiatives that helps China to bring our solutions, strategies towards the whole world. whole world. With the industrial and economic achievement that we made with our robustness and our cultural intelligence to help African people to learn better from our Chinese discourse, so in this way they can do better in the future.

And I think with the aid of Chinese institutions, with our communities and this combination, They've got a promising future to achieve better developments in Africa. We are truly confident about that. Thank you.
