The 25th China-EU Summit opened in Beijing this week, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. While leaders discuss trade and global challenges, young people in Lyon, France, are building bridges through pop culture – and Chinese TV dramas are stealing the spotlight! 🎬
Camille, a tourism student, told CGTN she’s noticed a cultural 'ping-pong match' between the two nations: 'French art inspires China, and now Chinese series are our new obsession!' From historical epics to modern rom-coms, she says streaming platforms are making Chinese storytelling go viral among Gen Z Europeans.
As EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Chinese leaders explore economic cooperation, Camille and her peers are voting with their remotes – proving that youth-driven cultural exchange might just be the secret sauce for stronger global ties. 🌍✨
