Former Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab has spotlighted China’s higher education system as a 🔑 driver of its rapid technological advancement and economic momentum. During a recent interview in Guangzhou, the ex-PM praised China’s ability to 'integrate research, industry, and student talent' into a cohesive growth engine.
Diab, a vocal advocate for global education partnerships, noted China’s universities are 'producing thinkers who solve real-world challenges'—from green tech to AI. His remarks come as developing economies seek replicable models to boost innovation. 🚀
'Education isn’t just about degrees here,' Diab told China Media Group. 'It’s about serving national priorities while empowering youth to lead industries of the future.' He highlighted streamlined programs linking labs to manufacturing hubs as a standout feature.
For Lebanon and others eyeing similar progress, Diab stressed collaboration: 'Imagine joint research centers or exchange programs unlocking new opportunities.' With China’s tech sector contributing over 30% to GDP growth last year, his insights offer food for thought worldwide. 🌏✨
