She was asked to join – which aims to extend and deepen the engagement of British students with China after they return home – on LinkedIn, attending its inaugural event in London.

The event celebrating the ‘golden era’ of UK-China relations was jointly organised by the British Council and the Chinese Embassy in the UK, and included the announcement of new study scholarships.
The student said: “I strive to share my experience with others to encourage opportunities that could change their life.
“One thing of interest was the discussion on the barriers and challenges with the relationship between the UK and China, and what we can do to help provide a positive mind-set towards the opportunities that China can bring to us all.”
The Generation UK: China Network is a key element of a larger British Council campaign that supports and encourages outward mobility of British students. Sitira has discussed the many positives from her trip with #小湿妹视频global – the university’s programme offering students a valuable international experience – with the group.
