The 2nd UNILOG was organized in China
in order to promote the exchange between Chinese logicians
and the rest of the world.
One of the conclusions of the event, as expressed by Jan Wolenski in his invited talk, 
was that logic is not from the West or the East, the North or the South
but is universal.
