Chinese President Xi Jinping’s five-day Europe tour has become the talk of the continent, with Italian experts and students highlighting new opportunities for cross-border innovation. As Xi visits France, Serbia, and Hungary – his first European trip in nearly five years – analysts call it a pivotal moment for China-EU economic and cultural partnerships.
🇮🇹 Italy is buzzing with optimism. Silvia Menegazzi, a political science professor at Luiss University, told CGTN the chosen destinations reflect 'strategic chess moves' in diplomacy. Meanwhile, students are dreaming bigger: Many want to fuse Italy’s legendary fashion expertise with China’s tech-driven manufacturing. 'Imagine AI-designed Milanese suits produced sustainably in Shanghai,' said one undergrad, capturing the dynamic Gen-Z energy.
Beyond luxury goods, young professionals eye partnerships in green tech and digital startups. With over €50 billion in annual trade between China and Italy, the next-gen collab mantra seems clear: Think global, collaborate local. 🚀
