Ye Lisheng, Party secretary of the Nanjing Polytechnic Institute, said the program was a great motivation for both the school and enterprises. 

“The successful landing of Delong in Indonesia on the one hand encourages us to collaborate with more and more Chinese companies which are to open overseas branches in ‘Belt and Road’ countries such as Nigeria, Bangladesh and Kenya,” Ye said. 

“While on the other hand, it inspires foreign students to choose our school and helps promote a more open campus atmosphere.”
