Building Connections: The Role of Language Classes in the Egypt-China Partnership

At the China Jushi factory in Egypt, although it is funded by Chinese investment, the majority of the employees are local Egyptians. To facilitate better communication between Chinese and Egyptian staff, the company has organized Chinese language classes specifically for the Egyptian technicians. In this video, we uncover the story behind these Mandarin classes and witness how Egyptian employees overcome language barriers, gradually mastering Chinese, and working seamlessly with their Chinese colleagues. Through interviews with the Egyptian employees attending these language classes and the teachers instructing them, we gain insight into the challenges and joys of learning Mandarin, as well as how this cultural exchange strengthens understanding and cooperation between China and Egypt. In the daily operations of the joint factory, language serves as a bridge not only for technical collaboration but also for fostering deeper cultural understanding and connection. Join us as we explore this journey of language and cultural integration, experiencing the warmth and unique stories behind the China-Egypt partnership.
