Move over, trade deals—there’s a new language of diplomacy at the 4th China-CEE Expo in Ningbo! 🌶️🍷 Chefs from Central and Eastern Europe teamed up with local culinary wizards at the city’s historic Old Bund, transforming the event into a mouthwatering cultural mashup. Think Zhejiang’s savory dongpo pork sharing the spotlight with Balkan grilled meats and buttery Brittany-style crepes. 🥘✨
‘Food is the ultimate icebreaker,’ said CGTN’s Nadim Diab, who sampled the fusion feast. From spicy to sweet, the dishes sparked conversations faster than a TikTok trend. Imagine Hungarian goulash enthusiasts swapping recipes with Ningbo noodle masters—it’s like a culinary crossover episode the world needed. 🎥👩🍳
Beyond the plates, the expo highlighted how shared meals can bridge continents. As one visitor joked, ‘Who needs translators when you’ve got dumplings?’ 🥟💬 With over 3,000 exhibitors from 40+ countries, this year’s event proved that global connection tastes delicious.
