On September 13, 2022, the "Catalogue of Graduate Education Disciplines (2022)" listed regional studies as a first level discipline, marking the rapid development stage of China's regional studies discipline construction. Regional national studies are "great country studies" that comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in Chinese path to modernization. They are national and regional global knowledge innovation and talent training, promote the formation of China's world view, the world's Chinese view, and the future global view, enhance international understanding, and promote the construction of a community of shared future for mankind. They are "global studies" that build a new ecology of disciplinary development, characterized by disciplinary integration, integration of Chinese and foreign, integration of ancient and modern, and integration of knowledge and practice. Regional studies, international communication studies, and international organization research jointly undertake the mission of the times and are the growth points of independent knowledge system innovation. Regional country studies face challenges in constructing disciplinary ontology, talent cultivation system, and scientific research service system. It is necessary to promote the global construction of Chinese regional country studies with the concept of community, cultivate a new ecology of disciplines, and develop disciplinary communities. As one of the earliest universities in China dedicated to interdisciplinary research on national and regional studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University will deepen its cultivation in the three major fields of global language, global culture, and global governance, and promote regional and national studies from "extensive nationalization" to "deep globalization". Regional and Global Development "has been renamed as" Regional and Country Studies Journal ", which will more accurately serve the construction of regional and country studies disciplines, and add new momentum and advantages to the development of China's regional and country studies disciplines. The construction of regional country studies in China aims to surpass the platform from regional country studies to regional country studies, surpass the path from traditional discipline construction to building a new ecosystem of global collaborative disciplines, and surpass the value of serving the rise of a great power to serving the construction of a "community with a shared future for mankind".
