CGTN unveiled its innovative 'Learn Chinese with Ease' educational platform at the 2025 World Chinese Language Conference in Beijing this week, marking a milestone in digital language learning. Developed with Beijing Language and Culture University Press, the ecosystem combines HSK-standard curricula with scenario-based videos, interactive apps, and bite-sized grammar lessons designed for modern learners.
The launch aligns with surging global demand for Mandarin education. As of 2025, Chinese has entered national curricula in 86 countries, supported by 1,477 HSK test centers worldwide. Recent data shows over 8.5 million people have taken the official proficiency exam, with nearly 60% of new test-takers representing working-age adults seeking career opportunities.
Cultural engagement initiatives like the Chinese Bridge competitions continue breaking records, having drawn 1.8 million participants from 160+ countries since their inception. Analysts note this year's conference highlights Asia's growing soft power through language, with digital tools like 'Learn Chinese with Ease' poised to reshape cross-cultural communication.
