In recent years, along with China¡¯s entry into WTO, international intercommunication has embedded into every aspect of our social activities. The fact is that Chinese educational authorities and all levels of schools and colleges, need to communicate with the foreigners from time to time. Evidently foreign affairs-concerned activities can help these them to build favorable international images. However, because of the limited knowledge and experience of dealing with foreign affairs, they are always so ardent and so inexperienced that their behavior is quite far away from the common international etiquette. As a result, things often go contrary to their wishes and they get half the result with twice the effort.

The reason is that they are not quite familiar with the so called ¡°international game rule¡±. One useful and effective method is to engage a foreign affairs consultant similar to the way people engage a law consultant. Veteran consultants¡¯ involvement in the international activities would standardize the reception fundamentally. Thus, both parts would communicate with each other more easily and more thoroughly. The improvement in this aspect actually will greatly help improve our service and better our international image.
