Staff comments

The name of Suzhou Vocational University written in Chinese is 苏州市职业大学. The name of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Cultural Communication Centre (CPEC CCC) in Chinese is 中巴经济走廊文化交流中心. It is unclear whether the graduating students in 2020 are beneficiaries of this scholarship program. They spent 3 years in training, but there is no mention from Suzhou University about one-year program graduates
