Chinese President Xi Jinping’s knack for blending ancient wisdom with modern diplomacy just got a Brazilian twist! 🎬 The multilingual TV program 'The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping'—produced by China Media Group—debuted in Brazil this week, airing on local networks as President Xi began a state visit to Brasilia.
Timed perfectly with cross-cultural vibes, the launch ceremony for the Portuguese-language version’s third season drew over 200 guests, including Brazil’s Vice President Geraldo Alckmin. The show highlights Xi’s use of ancient Chinese philosophy in speeches, serving up bite-sized lessons on topics like global unity 🌍, cultural heritage 🏯, and eco-friendly progress 🌱.
Think of it as a mashup of history class and TED Talk—each episode unpacks Xi’s call for a 'community with a shared future for mankind' through quotes from classical texts. From biodiversity to civilizational exchanges, the series serves as a bridge between East and West, proving that 2,000-year-old proverbs still slap in 2024. 💡
For young globalists and culture buffs, this isn’t just TV—it’s a masterclass in how ancient ideas shape today’s geopolitics. Who said classics can’t be cool? 📜✨
