Gaining knowledge, building friendships
China DailySaudi students attend calligraphy workshops. About what the Saudi students can learn from China's marine oil and gas industry, Xu thinks the first thing is the fast delivery capability of Chinese companies. "For example, in just one year, we can complete an oil platform manufacturing project that usually takes two to three years," he explained, adding that China's digitalization technology is also cutting-edge. Apart from the intelligent manufacturing base, the Saudi students also visited a simulation center for offshore oil engineering equipment, where they saw underwater operation robots and experienced the simulative installation process of offshore platforms using a digitalized command module. He also proudly mentioned that nowadays, more and more Saudi Arabian children have started to learn Chinese since primary school or even kindergarten.
