The Academy has more than 50 long-term experts from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan and overseas. In 2021, 9 international courses (including 4 online courses) and 41 online international workshops were available to 1,307 students, accounting for about 15 % of all students.

Activities for international cultural interaction, such as a banquet for the spouses of G20 leaders during the Hangzhou Summit, “Impression of ASEAN: An Exhibition of Landscape Paintings by Teachers of CAA”, “Poetic Zhejiang Landscape: The CAA’s Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Works Exhibition” in Hungary were all expertly coordinated by the Academy. The Academy was also in charge of the visual cultural design for the G20 Hangzhou Summit, as well as the World Internet Conference venue design. In honor of the "70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China," the Academy published an epic album titled "China" (in 8 languages) that provided a panoramic view of the country's development and achievements since its inception. This album was presented as gifts to notable domestic and international guests who attended the celebration. “Schriftbilder – Bilderschrift” won the gold award of “German Design Award 2018”. The Academy has been ranked among the top 10 institutions in mainland China for its global influence and impact for many consecutive years.
