The finals of the third "China Exploration" initiated by the Ministry of Education and hosted by the China University Sports Association was held in Beijing from November 5th to 7th. After fierce competition, the excellent performance of the JSU team made of 9 foreign students and 2 Chinese students from 8 countries finally stood out, ranking third among the 16 teams of national finals. JSU won second place in exhibition of sports arts.

This year's "China Exploration" finals, involved more than 200 overseas students. Three competition events were orienteering, 3X3 basketball and sports art exhibition.

All these three competition events were extremely demanding for the athletes and each result of the events would affect the ranking. The JSU team made well preparation for the competition and all the participants took full use of their spare time for the training. Their efforts were paid back with winning the first place in both Jiangsu and southeast regionals and got their ticket to the finals.

The “China Exploration” has become a classical cultural activity for the nearly 500,000 overseas students in China. Three levels for the whole competition are: provincial, regional and national level finals. The competition is being more and more helpful to promote the overseas students’ understanding of Chinese traditional culture and customs, enhance the friendship between Chinese and overseas students, strengthen the communication among universities and promote the level of internationalization of the education in China.
