For example, poverty reduction, industrial development, and technological innovation can all provide useful lessons.小潘: If they only look at military or trade data, they’ll miss many important aspects.刘娜: Exactly. That’s why they need more people who know Chinese, who can read original works and understand history and society.小潘: I think this is similar to my goal of learning Chinese—I hope to become a bridge for cultural exchange in the future.刘娜: Very good. Your efforts show that language and understanding are key to connecting the two countries.
