I have chosen China because China's heavy investment in education has resulted in provision of high quality education and its universities have high reputation which makes a great aspiration to the students and professionals for the better career perspectives. As someone whose sole interest lies in international affairs, China being an economic powerhouse provides the perfect environment for the study and research in related fields of international relations (I.R). China will provide me an opportunity to meet imminent researchers in this field and to be part of its research community will allow me to acquire invaluable transferable skills which I can tailor and apply in my country. China as a country is also iconic to me due to the bilateral relations it has with Pakistan. The fact that China is promoting trade and peace with Pakistan makes me a comfortable destination to pursue a master’s degree in this university. In addition, of great interest to me is China's diverse, vibrant and well preserved culture. It would be honorable to learn and live the norms and values of the Chinese people as well as appreciate the great cuisines of China.
