The People's Republic of China has developed to a worldwide leading trade partner. Not only is China the "workbench of the world", also as a sales market, China is important - almost all large international company have one or several branches in China. Due to shrinking markets in the Western countries, China as a sales market is something like a lifeline for many Western companies. China is currently the second largest economic power after the US, and according to all forecasts, within very few years it will replace the US as the leading economic power, with a considerable lead.
However, foreign companies often face difficulties in China. China's market and work environment are very complex. Cultural differences are immense and foreign companies suffer from bureaucracy, corruption and strong Chinese competitors.
We organize internships with various companies from many disciplines.
Otherwise, China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and you can learn with us traditional and contemporary cultural activities as "World Learner". China offers a fascinating variety of landscapes that you can explore while traveling.
Our coordinators in China are a team of Chinese and Europeans.
Locations in China
Beijing
Beijing has over 20 million inhabitants, is one of the largest cities in the world and the capital of the People's Republic of China.
The city is incredibly dynamic and full of young life and momentum. Many innovative companies and start-ups (both Chinese and foreign) are setting up shop in Beijing. Young people from all over China, at the age of 20 to mid 30's, move to Beijing in search of professional success. In addition, there is a significant number of young people from Eastern and Western Europe, North America and Africa, trying their luck here, either in business or simply spending some time in Beijing.
The nightlife is amazing here, especially during the warmer months: every night, the streets, restaurants, bars and clubs are full of people until the wee hours of the morning. The cost of such nightlife is relatively low. On the streets, you can listen to street musicians, dance publicly, sing karaoke and eat and drink – you will hardly see signs of a communist dictatorship. There are plenty of ultra-modern shopping malls and hip restaurants to which the guests pile in. Beijing is in the midst of an economic miracle and for Beijingers, this means consumption and fun.
Thanks to the Olympic Games of 2008, the city received a modern public transport system that is very inexpensive to use, as well as attractive and well-maintained parks and squares.
Since the 11th century BC, Beijing has been one of the most important cultural centers of the world and full of palaces, temples and historical art treasures with which no other city in the world can compete. The Great Wall, which is visible even from the moon, passes north of the city.

In 2012, 32.4 million Chinese tourists and 816,000 foreign tourists traveled to Hainan.
