TAIZHOU, China, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from China.org.cn 
about the 2026 Hehe Culture Forum:

The 2026 Hehe Culture Forum was held Tuesday in Taizhou, eastern China’s Zhejiang
province, bringing together more than 220 participants from 23 countries to discuss
cultural exchange, global governance, and international cooperation.

Originating in Taizhou, Hehe Culture is a traditional Chinese philosophy centered
on harmony, inclusiveness, and unity without uniformity.

Chang Bo, president of China International Communications Group (CICG); Zhang Xuewei,
vice chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political
Consultative Conference; and Wang Jian, secretary of the Communist Party of China(
CPC) Taizhou Municipal Committee, delivered opening remarks.

In his speech, Chang highlighted the importance of Hehe Culture in contemporary 
international affairs, saying its principles of cooperation, peaceful coexistence,
mutual learning, and respect for differences help drive global development, safeguard
international security, foster dialogue among civilizations, and address global 
challenges.

He said the forum has grown into an international platform for cultural exchange
over the past five years, and CICG will continue working with domestic and international
partners to promote dialogue among civilizations and shared progress.

Zhang said Hehe Culture emphasizes solidarity and harmonious coexistence, with humanity
working together toward a community with a shared future. He said Zhejiang would
strengthen research into Hehe Culture, advance the creative transformation and innovative
development of traditional Chinese culture, and expand international cultural exchange.

He also called for deeper mutual learning among civilizations and practical cooperation
to share development opportunities and build a better future.

Wang described Hehe Culture as a time-honored Chinese tradition that promotes harmony
among nations, unity in pursuit of national rejuvenation, and development through
the integration of tradition and modernity. In Taizhou, the concept is being applied
to economic development, ecological protection, public governance, people’s livelihoods,
and international exchange, he noted.

He said the city stands ready to expand research into Hehe Culture and strengthen
its international outreach, so that traditional Chinese culture becomes more relevant
to contemporary society.

Yu Hanyin, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial
Committee and head of the Information Office of the Zhejiang Provincial People’s
Government, presided over the opening ceremony. He said Hehe Culture’s emphasis 
on harmony without uniformity and peaceful coexistence among nations aligns closely
with the Global Civilization Initiative.

He added that the forum has become a platform for showcasing Chinese civilization
and encouraging civilizational dialogue since its launch in 2021.

Li Yafang, deputy editor-in-chief of CICG and president of the Academy of Contemporary
China and World Studies (ACCWS), presided over the keynote speech session. She said
Hehe Culture offers enduring impetus for dialogue and consensus-building across 
civilizations.

The forum examines how traditional Chinese ideas of harmony and respect for differences
can inform contemporary global governance and international exchange, Li added.

The forum featured the presentation of research findings on "Hehe Culture and Symbols
of Chinese Civilization," a global call for entries for a digital art competition
on Hehe Culture, and the release of the 2025 global Hehe Culture practice cases.

Other activities included the signing of an agreement for a technology and industry
fund for Hehe Culture, presentations of international communication initiatives,
and awards recognizing outstanding overseas Hehe Culture stations. Hehe Culture 
ambassadors also sent messages to the forum.

Four parallel sessions focused on the contemporary value of Hehe, business ethics
and regional cooperation, the contemporary development of traditional culture and
mutual learning among civilizations, and youth contributions to global sustainable
development.

The forum was jointly organized by ACCWS under CICG and the Taizhou Municipal People’s
Government.
