In the cultural exchange between China and the West, Zhang Guobin pointed out that "details can reflect respect" through the introduction of Western table manners, such as when to visit, how to choose gifts, etc. At the same time, he also emphasized that "courtesy should be moderate, and excess is not enough." At present, national-level protocol ceremonies are also being streamlined appropriately.
Zhang Guobin said with emotion that Chinese people eat in a hurry, but French people regard eating as a kind of enjoyment, "even eating bread must be eaten with elegance." The French drink different wines according to the quality of their meat, and even the configuration and placement of knives and forks are particularly particular.

Zhang Guobin’s speech
When communicating with foreign guests, Zhang Guobin specifically pointed out that when the other party’s questions are too sensitive and sharp, it is better to use strengths and avoid weaknesses and shift the focus than to show lack of confidence; when the other party’s questions touch the bottom line, it is better to resolve them with humor than to stay in a stalemate and argue. Zhang Guobin shared a short story to illustrate the importance of empathy. A French woman accused the Chinese of lacking a sense of justice and selling weapons to both sides during the Iran-Iraq war. Zhang Guobin cleverly replied: "The British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace and plundered China's wealth. Does this mean that the French are all bad people?"
In response to the problem of interactions between college students and foreigners, Zhang Guobin emphasized that college students should not only respect differences and choose friends carefully, but also be confident and self-reliant.
