Then, Professor Chen Zhirui gave a brief explanation of Foreign Affairs Review's purpose and scope of topics, especially introduced the academic writing method of combining small cases with large narratives through "framing".

Since then, Professor Chen Zhirui together with our teachers and students had in-depth analysis and discussion on the following issues, like Central Asian countries issue, the Arctic issue, the foreign policy of Biden government, the reform of the World Health Organization, the evolution of the hegemonic system of the United States, the energy agenda setting, and the non-traditional security issues in the post epidemic era and so on.
