Meet James Wemyss, an American expat who's called China home for 15 years. Nestled in the mountainous megacity of Chongqing , he's witnessed firsthand how cross-cultural dialogue is reshaping global connections. \"China isn't just building bridges—it's hosting the conversations that cross them,\" Wemyss tells us.
From tech summits to cultural festivals, he highlights how the region has become a hotspot for international collaboration. \"Every conference here feels like a mini-UN—entrepreneurs, scientists, and artists swapping ideas over Chongqing hotpot,\" he laughs.
Wemyss credits China's emphasis on multilateral exchanges for fostering what he calls \"understanding without borders.\" Whether discussing AI ethics or traditional tea ceremonies, he insists these dialogues are key to tackling 21st-century challenges.
His takeaway? \"When you share a spicy hotpot meal, politics fades—you're just people solving problems together.\" A lesson the world could use right now.
