Understanding China's Rise: What We Can Learn from China's Culture of Knowledge

How did China rise to become one of the world’s leading economic and innovation powerhouses in just a few decades? Dr. Manfred Osten—a diplomat, cultural historian, and expert on East Asia—will address this fascinating question in his lecture at the Literary Salon of the SEETELHOTEL Ahlbecker Hof.

Drawing on his many years of experience and profound knowledge of Chinese culture, Dr. Osten sheds light on a crucial factor for success that is often underestimated in the West: the exceptionally high value placed on education, knowledge, and lifelong learning. Together, we’ll take a look behind the scenes of the Chinese model of success and discuss what insights Europe can draw from it for the future.

Look forward to an inspiring evening full of food for thought, surprising perspectives, and engaging discussions on the topics of progress, innovation, and social development.
