In recent days, TusCBEC instructors led 300 students from the Class of 2022 of 
the Cross-border E-commerce major of the RCEP Industrial College of 
Cross-border E-commerce during their visit to the Nanning Comprehensive Bonded 
Zone for a "scenario-based training" session. The event combined theoretical 
explanation with on-site investigation, aiming to furnish students with the 
opportunity to see the Nanning Comprehensive Bonded Zone in person, gain an 
in-depth comprehension of the operation mechanisms and actual operations of a 
special supervision zone, thereby enhancing students' understanding of the 
special supervision zone of the Nanning Comprehensive Bonded Zone.

The RCEP Industrial College of Cross-border E-commerce is located inside the 
Nanning Comprehensive Bonded Zone in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and is 
well-known as China's first cross-border e-commerce industrial college 
established inside an industrial park. It was jointly founded by the Guangxi 
International Business Vocational College (GXIBVC) and Guangxi Tus-Innovation 
Cross-border E-commerce Co., Ltd. (TusCBEC) in September 2020.

"The college works with partners such as cross-border e-commerce platforms, 
cross-border e-commerce enterprises and third-party service companies to 
jointly study and formulate talent cultivation programs and design and develop 
curriculum. In 2022, the Cross-border E-commerce major successfully obtained UK 
ENIC international qualification certification," said Deng Haitao, Dean of the 
College of International Trade of the GXIBVC.

The school leans on the comprehensive array of cross-border logistics, 
warehousing, import and export supply chains and other platforms within the 
Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park of the Nanning Comprehensive Bonded 
Zone, and resource advantages of TusCBEC, in hosting in-depth scenario-based 
training and education activities, so as to continually provide the 
cross-border e-commerce industry with talents and intelligence support.

"Students of the college learn basic professional knowledge on campus during 
freshman year, then undergo practical training inside the Nanning Comprehensive 
Bonded Zone for the whole year during their second year. Our company's seasoned 
industry instructors teach them cross-border e-commerce platform operation, 
livestream and promotion, videography and editing, cross-border logistics 
management and other key knowledge of the industry," explained Ge Ronghe, the 
Vice General Manager of TusCBEC.

At present, the school is speeding up its pace in the cultivation of 
cross-border e-commerce talents. It has formed cooperation with more than 20 
colleges and universities in the ASEAN countries, established one campus of the 
Guihai Business College and two internationalized faculty training bases in 
Thailand, with one curriculum standard having gained certification by the Thai 
Ministry of Education, thereby realizing the export of professional standards 
and curriculum standards. In addition, one vocational standard has been 
included in the national vocational education system of Tanzania, two national 
vocational standards development projects have been approved in Tanzania, which 
will be included in the national vocational education system of the country.

Liu Jieying, Vice President of the school, explained that the school will 
establish three new overseas branches of the Guihai Business College, take an 
active stance in creating vocational education innovation highlands in ASEAN, 
and form an exchangeable "introduction, student cultivation, output" model of 
high-quality education resources in partnership with similar education 
institutions in the states of the ASEAN bloc. By 2035, the school's plan is to 
complete the establishment of a high-quality vocational school and high-level 
professional clusters noted for its foreign trade orientation, nation-leading 
standard, and immense influence in the China-ASEAN region, so as to 
emphatically provide support in terms of talents and intelligence conducive to 
the completion of the China-ASEAN community of common destiny and China-ASEAN 
free trade zone.
