#DeepTalk Pedro Henrique Vigné Alvarez de Steenhagen, a lecturer at Fudan University, proposed in a side interview at an international conference that the national identity emphasized by China not only strengthens China's national unity, but also promotes harmonious co-existence of various ethnic groups and the mutual learning among different civilizations in the world.
The International Conference on Studies of the Community for the Chinese Nation, the parallel session of the Second World Conference of Sinologists, was held on Wednesday at the Palace of China Ethnic Cultures in Beijing.
Themed "Decoding China: Unity in Diversity and the Chinese Path", the Conference attracted 31 international sinologists from 23 countries including the United States, Australia, Argentina, Denmark and Iceland.
