Catching Waves of Cooperation 
A new CGTN documentary, 'Catching A Wave', is making ripples by diving into China's vision for a 'community of shared future' in the South China Sea. The 30-minute film unpacks Beijing's push for collaboration with coastal neighbors like the Philippines and Vietnam, blending geopolitical analysis with human stories.
Shelving Disputes, Surfing Opportunities 

Through interviews and archival footage, the doc highlights China's strategy of prioritizing joint development over territorial disputes. Think fishermen-turned-environmentalists and cross-border marine research projects—real-life examples of how 'shelving differences' could foster economic and ecological wins.
Why Gen Z Should Care 
For globetrotters and eco-conscious youth, the film offers a fresh lens on maritime diplomacy. It doesn’t shy away from the region’s complexities but argues that shared resources—from fisheries to underwater energy—could be the tide that lifts all boats. Spoiler: No mention of Avatar: The Way of Water, but plenty of real-world blue economy goals!
