Based on publicly available information, the report finds that China's cultural exchange in 2023 showed a strong recovery. Not only was the scale of exchange approaching pre-pandemic levels, but the ways of exchange became more diverse, the formats more innovative, and the dialogues deeper. Cultural exchange entered a new track of high-quality development last year, the report says.

The report shows that cultural exchange between China and the world in 2023 generated notable results in various fields, including communication, cultural industries, education, technology, tourism, and sports. Besides, new characteristics and trends in themes, methods, participants, carriers, and platforms were seen during this process.
