Move over, croissants and dumplings—there's a new cultural mashup in town! China Media Group (CMG) and the French Embassy in China just launched a sizzling culinary exchange program this week, blending flavors and diplomacy at a star-studded event in Beijing.
CMG President Shen Haixiong called it a 'recipe for mutual learning,' while French Ambassador Bertrand Lortholary hinted at future collaborations. The vibe? Think MasterChef meets international relations, with National Art Museum director Wu Weishan adding artistic flair to the mix.
This isn't just about food—it's a full-course deal connecting over 4,000 CMG media channels with France's cultural tastemakers. From streaming documentaries to viral cooking challenges, expect this partnership to serve up fresh ways for Gen Z to explore Sino-French heritage. \"Food bridges civilizations,\" Shen told the crowd, proving that breaking bread might just be the ultimate peace emoji.
