From high-speed rail networks to renewable energy projects, China is reshaping Asia's economic future, according to former UN under-secretary-general Shamshad Akhtar. In a recent interview with CGTN, Akhtar highlighted China's growing influence in regional development, calling it 'a key driver of progress.'
🌐 'Collaboration is the new currency,' Akhtar noted, pointing to initiatives like the Belt and Road program that are boosting infrastructure and tech innovation across developing nations. With over 150 countries and regions now partnering with China on trade and sustainability projects, young entrepreneurs and professionals are watching closely for opportunities.
📈 Analysts suggest this trend aligns with Asia's push for green energy transitions and digital economies. Did you know? China invested $1.1 billion in Southeast Asian startups last year alone! Whether you're studying international relations or planning a business venture, these shifts could redefine 21st-century opportunities.
