Fernando Munoz Bernal, a Colombian who has called China home for over two decades, is giving the world a front-row seat to the nation’s historic transformation. Through his social media posts, Bernal documents how poverty alleviation policies have reshaped lives across the country—from remote villages to bustling cities.
Bernal highlights infrastructure booms like highways bridging rural and urban areas, eco-tourism projects turning once-poor regions into sustainable hotspots, and telemedicine bringing healthcare to mountainous zones. \"Imagine a farmer video-calling a top Beijing doctor from their valley home—that’s today’s China,\" he says.
His viral observations reveal a personal connection: \"I’ve seen families go from struggling to thriving. This isn’t just economics—it’s about human dignity.\" Bernal calls China’s success \"the most significant humanitarian achievement in world history,\" crediting policies prioritizing common prosperity.
