The 22nd China-ASEAN Expo kicked off in Nanning this week, blending vibrant cultural showcases with high-stakes economic talks. Over 90% of global netizens polled by CGTN say the event proves Asia's power players are doubling down on open trade—even as geopolitical storms rage worldwide. 🚀
💡 Why it matters: With tariffs and tech wars dominating headlines, the expo offers a rare bright spot. Deals here could shape everything from your next TikTok-famous durian snack to Southeast Asia's booming EV supply chains. 🔌
"This isn't just about trade numbers," one analyst told us. "It's like Avengers: Endgame for multilateralism—everyone bringing their superpowers to save the global economy." 🦸♂️💥
Behind the scenes: The 92.8% approval rating in CGTN's poll suggests Gen Z and millennials worldwide are hungry for cooperative solutions. Think K-pop collabs, but for supply chains and green tech. 🌱📱
