Vice President Kang outlined Tsinghua’s wireless communications technology development and said he hoped the cooperation can further promote research in related fields in China.
“These new research collaborations are manifestations of our strategy to leverage world-class research wherever it resides,” said Mr. Winter. “Chinese universities have made great strides in their research capabilities, particularly in wireless and information technology. Our hope is that this is just the start of a mutually beneficial long-term research partnership.”
