In November 2023, Party School of Shanghai Municipal Committee(SPS) of CPC (Shanghai Administration Institute,SAI), published a bilingual (Chinese-English) textbook titled Why Shanghai?— Stories of Chinese Modernization. Designed with the interests and concerns of overseas readers in mind, the book presents case-based narratives that explore themes of broad relevance, including China's distinctive revolutionary sites, economic development, people's wellbeing, urban governance, and openness and win-win cooperation. Through these themes, it vividly portrays Shanghai as a distinguished symbol of Chinese modernization.
In its international training programs, SPS (SAI) remains committed to "better telling China's stories, making China's voice heard, and presenting a China that is credible, appealing, and respectable." For over a decade, guided by its educational philosophy of being "modern, comprehensive, research-oriented, and open,"SPS(SAI) has actively advanced international exchange, cooperation, and training. It has organized both in-person and online exchange programs, developed digital courses, nurtured faculty with expertise in international engagement, and produced bilingual teaching materials. Through these ongoing efforts, SPS(SAI) has projected the voice of a Party school in effectively telling China's stories and made modest yet meaningful contributions to fostering friendship, broadening consensus, and strengthening cooperation.
