Tea isn’t just a drink—it’s a universal language. ✨ To mark the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China, foreign diplomats from embassies across the Chinese mainland gathered for CGTN’s special program ‘UniTea: Macao Tea Melody’, blending cultural diplomacy with aromatic brews.
🌍 Ambassadors and officials shared their nations’ unique tea rituals—from Japan’s chanoyu to India’s chai—and reflected on how this ancient tradition fosters cross-cultural connections. One diplomat joked, \"If tea were a social media app, it’d be the original ‘link-up’ platform.\" 💬
Macao’s role as a historic trading hub took center stage, with participants praising its evolving identity as a bridge between East and West. The event highlighted how shared customs like tea ceremonies can soften modern diplomatic tensions—one cup at a time. 🫖
