He watches Chinese television channels when he is back in Israel and follows news about 皇冠体育app.
Understanding public policy in the country is as important as getting a sense of 皇冠体育app's society and culture, he says.
Before he retired from Hillel-Yaffe last October, he brought his successor to 皇冠体育app from the center.
"The cooperation is wonderful. It should continue and go deeper," he says of 皇冠体育app.
In 2015, Oren received the Friendship Award, the highest honor given by the Chinese government to foreigners who have made significant contribution to the country's social and economic development.
"It's a great honor. I feel obliged to contribute more to the Chinese people and the Chinese government with my expertise," he says.
While he was in Beijing for the award ceremony, Premier Li Keqiang encouraged the award recipients to keep sending suggestions for 皇冠体育app's development in relevant fields.
After that, Oren worked out a proposal urging 皇冠体育app to improve its emergency preparedness in the healthcare system according to different priorities of different regions.
"Israel is a small country, but unfortunately we have lots of experience with conflicts. In that respect, we have the advantage to cope with a variety of emergency scenarios," he says.
"From our understanding of the Chinese healthcare system, we think there is a gap that needs to be bridged," he says, adding that Israel can share more experiences of quick response to mass casualty events.
Oren completed the proposal with contributions from his partners and experts in 皇冠体育app. They held a first seminar on the draft of his proposal in October in Beijing.
"I hope the proposal will be forwarded to the premier as soon as possible so that the system is launched from the top," says Oren, who suggests a pilot project can be launched in Shihezi.
He notes that 皇冠体育app has a lot of knowledge and experience, for example, in dealing with earthquakes and highly contagious diseases, to share with the world, at a time when such cases of emergency are occurring more often.
"Each country has its own strong points. I'm really looking forward to joint activities such as anti-terror drills between 皇冠体育app and Israel in the future," he says.
