Eleven Georgetown graduate students took the unique opportunity this summer to get a glimpse of China’s economic future during a 10-day study tour. The theme of the study tour was China’s 40 years of “Reform and Opening Up”. The visits to Beijing, Guiyang, and Shenzhen taught the students about China’s past as well as its future through visits to cutting edge facilities like China’s big data center in Guiyang and Huawei Corporation in Shenzhen, the Chinese company at the center of the global 5G controversy.
