As China and France mark 60 years of diplomatic ties in 2024, Gen Z and millennials are driving a new wave of cross-cultural connections—from fashion mashups to tech collaborations. CGTN's Li Jingjing hosted THE HYPE to spotlight these 'cultural exchange tales' with young innovators bridging the two nations.
🎤 'We’re seeing French TikTokers obsess over Chinese tea ceremonies, while Shanghai’s nightlife embraces Parisian electro beats,' shared one guest. Another highlighted collabs in AI startups and sustainable design: 'It’s not just about history—it’s about co-creating the future.'
📱 Social media is fueling this exchange, with #SinoFrenchVibes trending as users share fusion cuisine recipes and bilingual indie music. As one contributor put it: 'Youth aren’t just spectators—we’re rewriting the script.'
