Move over, TikTok trends—beer and opera might just be the next big duo bridging global connections! 🍺🎭 A recent video highlights how Chinese and Croatian businesses are tapping into culture and commerce to strengthen ties, with craft beer collaborations and cross-cultural artistic exchanges leading the charge.
Chinese breweries are experimenting with Croatian hops, while Croatian opera houses are incorporating traditional Chinese instruments into performances. 🎻 This blend of \"liquid diplomacy\" and cultural fusion comes as trade between the two nations grows by 12% year-on-year, according to recent data.
\"It’s not just about exports—it’s about sharing stories through flavors and art,\" said a Zagreb-based entrepreneur featured in the clip. Meanwhile, a Chinese importer praised Croatia's craft beer renaissance, calling it \"a refreshing gateway to European markets.\" 🌍
