Step into the world of diplomacy, debate and global leadership at the Harvard Model United Nations China Conference 2026 (HMUN China) — one of Asia’s most prestigious international academic experiences for secondary school students.
This is more than a conference. It is where tomorrow’s leaders find their voice.

Students don’t just learn about international relations — they live it.
