But how does the rest of the world see China's tech strides? We asked residents from the UK, Spain, Brazil, and Zambia—and their answers might surprise you!
"I ride an electric bus made in China every day here in London—it's quiet, efficient, and emission-free," says Clara, a student from Bristol.
Spanish entrepreneur Miguel highlights China's 5G networks: "Our startups study Chinese smart city models—they're setting global standards."
From Brazil's solar farms using Chinese photovoltaic tech to Zambia's telehealth platforms connecting rural clinics, respondents emphasized China’s 'real-world solutions.' "It’s not just gadgets—it’s tech that serves people," noted Lusaka resident Akosa.
Analysts link this global resonance to the CPC’s focus on innovation-driven development at the Congress. As debates continue about AI ethics and green tech, one thing’s clear: China’s tech narrative is becoming everyone’s conversation.
