education - A lingdao training institute

CELAP in Pudong

Attending press conferences in China is not my favorite way to kill time, but it looks like I'm going to make an exception tomorrow, at the China Executive Leadership Academy in Pudong (CELAP) opens its doors. The Shanghai-based centre is set up by the central government to train its highest leaders, lingdao in Chinese.
For Friday a top-end conference including representatives of forty of the largest state-owned enterprises will discuss leadership in a changing societ, cultural pluralism and globalization. A fax I received today includeed a letter of invitation of its executive vice president Xi Jieren, suggesting I'm welcome on Friday.
Reason enough to go to the press conference and test their wireless access.
