The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) stated the need to promote the digitalisation of education and build a society and country of learning where lifelong learning is pursued by all. Many wonderful views were shared at the 21st China Conference on Distance Education 2022 centred on the report delivered at the 20th National Congress of the CPC, which resonated strongly with the participants.
