Why is the 2010 International University Debate in Chinese?

In 1986, the Singapore Broadcasting Authority (SBS) pioneered a new video game model, the College Debating Conference, in order to promote the influence and application of the Chinese language and to promote exchanges and friendship among universities in the region. At that time, it was called the "Asian College Debate" and was held every two years. Peking University and Fudan University were invited to participate in the first and second Asian College Debates respectively, and both won the championship with excellent performances.

In 1992, the President of Singapore Television visited China and proposed the idea of co-hosting the "Asian College Debate" with China's leading television station, and soon reached a cooperation intention. ** The Director of the Youth Division of the Television Station was responsible for consulting with the Singapore side on the specific matters of cooperation and proposed to change the name to "International Collegiate Debating Committee", which was endorsed by the Singapore side. In January 1993, the two sides formally signed a cooperation agreement.

The agreement stipulates that the purpose of the "International College Debate" is: to promote the popularization and application of the Chinese language in the international arena and to show the charm of the Chinese language; Promote the exchange of ideas, emotions and cultures between participating countries or regions, universities and young people, and enhance friendship between them; Promote the cooperation of international television colleagues, make television have greater coverage and representativeness, and improve the cultural taste of television programs.

The International Collegiate Debate is still held once every two years, and the two sides take turns to host it, and the copyright of the program is shared. The first International Collegiate Debate was held in Singapore, and China sent Fudan University to participate. ** After the television broadcast seven live footage of all the games, it had a huge impact across the country and set off a wave of debate that has been felt to this day.

The 2011 International Collegiate Debate will be held in Qingdao from October 16th to 22nd, when 16 university debate teams from famous universities around the world will collectively appear in the island city for eight "verbal battles". According to Jianpapei, this year's International University Elite Debate has launched a new competition system, and more attention is paid to the quality and demeanor of individual debaters.

On the 10th, the reporter learned from the press conference of the 2011 International University Debate that this year's debate will be held in Qingdao from October 16th to 22nd, which is the second time to "settle" in Qingdao after the 9th debate domestic selection competition last year. It is understood that 16 university debate teams at home and abroad will participate in the debate, including teams from Harvard University, Princeton University, Nottingham University and other world-famous universities, and the number of participating teams is the largest in the previous competitions.

Although nearly half of the 16 university debate teams in this year's debate are from non-Chinese-speaking countries, all competitions require debates in Chinese, and the participating teams will be divided into groups A and B according to whether they are native Chinese speakers. It is understood that most of the college students' debate teams from schools in Europe and the United States are students who have been carrying out Chinese language education for many years.

It is reported that this year's debate will use a new competition system, and for the first time, "role competition", "high-end dialogue" and other links will be set up, so that the whole competition will be increased from the previous 4 links to 9 links. At the same time, this debate will also set up a new elimination link, that is, the six debaters of the pros and cons will be eliminated one by one as the competition progresses, and finally the last 1 contestant will become the winning debater.

The purpose of the elimination link is to shift from the previous emphasis on teamwork to the emphasis on individual strength, and to highlight the quality and demeanor of each debater, so as to fully explore a group of star debaters. In addition, in the "Jiao's Lust Competition", the debaters will be asked to simulate various social identities to speak, with the aim of allowing these participating college students to switch identities and get out of the ivory tower to interpret real-life characters. In this year's debate, Yu Qiuyu will serve as the chief judge and have a face-to-face discussion with the debaters in the "high-level dialogue" session.

It is reported that since its inception in 1993, the International University Debate was held in Beijing and Singapore until 2009. In September 2010, the 9th International University Debate Conference was held in Qingdao for the first time.

Chief Judge: Yu Qiuyu.
