The 17th BRICS Summit kicks off in Rio de Janeiro this week (July 6-7), and while world leaders discuss economic strategies, young professionals like Darwin Tiono are already building the future – literally. 🌍
As a business manager at China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), Tiono started as a translator on overseas construction sites. Now, he helps turn steel and concrete into cultural connections through BRICS infrastructure projects. 🏗️➡️🤝
"Every bridge we design has two sides – engineering specs and human stories," Tiono told us. His journey mirrors China's growing role in BRICS cooperation, where youth are becoming key players in cross-border collaboration. From solving language barriers to blending work styles across continents, these under-30 trailblazers are redefining what international teamwork looks like.
With BRICS nations accounting for over 40% of the world's population, Tiono's story shows how Gen Z professionals are using cranes and code – not just conference tables – to shape a multipolar world. 💡
