When Burak traded the bustling bazaars of Türkiye for Yiwu’s sprawling small commodities market, he found more than just business opportunities – he found love. Now married to a Sichuan native, this globetrotting entrepreneur embodies the cultural and economic bridges being built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Yiwu, often called the 'world’s supermarket,' became Burak’s launchpad for international trade. 'The connectivity here is unreal,' he says. 'One day you’re negotiating with suppliers, the next you’re shipping goods to markets you never imagined reaching.'
His success story mirrors Yiwu’s transformation into a global trade hub, with Belt and Road creating new corridors for entrepreneurs. From Turkish textiles to Chinese tech gadgets, Burak’s business now spans three continents – proving that cross-cultural partnerships are the ultimate growth hack. 💼🚀
