Abstract
This article examines the importance of learning Chinese in promoting cultural collaboration and moral development among youth in Uzbekistan. By reviewing both national and international research, it analyzes how acquiring Chinese contributes to intellectual growth, creative thinking, and cultural awareness. The study highlights innovative strategies in language education, particularly the use of Edustart Chinese, a technology-assisted platform that enhances linguistic skills and communicative competence. The findings indicate that learning Chinese not only strengthens youth’s knowledge and skills but also supports the development of moral consciousness and ethical understanding.
