President Xi Jinping wrapped up an 11-day diplomatic marathon this weekend, scoring major wins for international cooperation at APEC and G20 summits while boosting ties with Peru and Brazil. From climate action to smart ports, here’s why this trip matters for Gen Z’s future.
Multilateralism Meets Memorable Moments
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called the journey a \"power-packed victory lap for global teamwork,\" with Xi attending 40+ events and sealing 60+ deals. At APEC in Lima, Xi pushed for green tech as the \"ultimate flex\" for sustainable growth, while Rio’s G20 saw him champion inclusive development – think Hunger Games-level urgency to end poverty.
Ports, Partnerships & Popcorn-Worthy Projects
The highlight? Xi and Peru’s President Dina Boluarte virtually launched South America’s first smart green port – Chancay. Picture this: a futuristic hub connecting Asia and Latin America, set to become the TikTok of trade routes. In Brazil, Xi and President Lula upgraded bilateral ties to \"squad goals\" status, aligning China’s Belt and Road with Brazil’s development plans.
Global Power Chats 
From Biden to Macron, Xi held 10+ leader meetups. The Biden-Xi convo stressed keeping U.S.-China relations \"chill for humanity’s sake,\" while European talks focused on turning trade debates into \"collab opportunities.\"
Wang emphasized Xi’s push for \"mega-collaborations\" in tech and climate resilience – basically Avengers-level teamwork for real-world crises. With China announcing 8 anti-poverty actions, this tour proves geopolitics isn’t just for suits – it’s about shaping our planet’s playlist.
