The value of the recent diplomatic visit of the Rhodes Trust delegation to China, aimed to consolidate mutual relations after a large-scale launch of the Rhodes Scholarships for China in 2015, can be summed up with four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Rhodes Scholar 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán)’s own words: “Visiting a number of institutions in 北京 (Běijīng) and 上海 (Shànghǎi), from legal to NGOs, from educational to investment fund, from colleges to national chess clubs, the ten-day trip was very tiring but very fulfilling”, she wrote on her 新浪微博 (Sina Wēibó) microblogging account. “Like in an adventure journey, foreign scholars could enjoy a less stereotyped view of real China; and as for me, through this ‘self-cultivation’, I could recognise the fertile soil in which I’ve grown up”.
