Fr Thierry Meynard SJ, director of the Beijing Centre, spoke to Erenlai Magazine about his interest in China, the importance of learning about China and the services provided by The Beijing Centre for Chinese Studies, a Jesuit work founded in 1998.
The centre provides a unique environment for students from all over the world to begin their engagement with China. Its mission is to promote mutual understanding between China and other cultures. Fr Meynard says, “What makes us unique is our placement in a long and storied tradition of Jesuit education; one that teaches us that true cultural engagement starts first with friendship.”
