On March 19, 2026, Professor Ye Zechuan from the College of Economics and Business Administration at Chongqing University and the School of Foreign Languages at Baoshan University was invited to Chongqing Neway Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. to deliver a focused and insightful special lecture. Staff members of the company attended the lecture for study and exchange.
Amid recent volatile developments in the Middle East and escalating geopolitical tensions, the global foreign trade sector has been confronted with growing impacts and uncertainties. To help employees accurately understand the global landscape and grasp the historical logic behind the Middle East situation, on March 19, 2026, Professor Ye Zechuan from the College of Economics and Business Administration at Chongqing University and the School of Foreign Languages at Baoshan University was invited to Chongqing Neway Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. to deliver a focused and insightful special lecture. Staff members of the company attended the lecture for study and exchange.
Under the theme The Religious Logic of Conflicts in the Middle East, Professor Ye drew on his profound academic expertise and extensive research experience to elaborate on the historical evolution and root causes of the Middle East situation from six perspectives. These included the origin and interaction between Judaism and Islam, the historical entanglement between nation-state building and the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Middle Eastern nationalist movements, the development of Islamic fundamentalist movements, the impact of U.S. democratic transformation in the Middle East, and the far-reaching significance of the Khomeini Islamic Revolution. With accessible language and vivid cases, Professor Ye interpreted the complex historical background and religious logic in a clear and coherent manner, enabling the attending staff to gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the complexity of the Middle East situation and correcting previous one-sided perceptions of the region.
During the interactive session, employees raised questions focusing on the impact of the Middle East situation on foreign trade, combined with their practical work experience. Professor Ye noted that although the complex and volatile international situation and turmoil in the Middle East do pose certain challenges to foreign trade operations, there is no need for excessive anxiety. Instead, confidence in going global should be strengthened, and the steady overseas expansion of Chinese enterprises remains the key to breaking through current difficulties.
This lecture provided an in-depth analysis of the historical roots and practical logic of the Middle East situation. It not only broadened employees’ international vision and improved their professional competence, but also enhanced their confidence and capability in coping with the complex international environment.
Going forward, Neway will continue to regularly hold such special lectures focusing on global situations and foreign trade hotspots, further consolidate the foundation of its talent team, and improve the comprehensive capabilities of its employees.
