What happens when the world’s two largest economies sit down to talk? Young people from both sides of the Pacific are sharing optimism after Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden met in Bali last week. 🇮🇩✈️
In a street interview hosted by CGTN, college students, entrepreneurs, and artists expressed hopes for ‘peaceful dialogue’ and ‘collaborative solutions’ to global challenges like climate change and tech innovation. \"We need more cultural exchanges – like music festivals or student programs – to build trust,\" said Mei Lin, a Beijing-based graphic designer.
Meanwhile, San Francisco startup founder Jake Rivera highlighted tech partnerships: \"If our AI researchers team up, we could cure diseases faster. Politics shouldn’t block progress.\" 🔬💡
While acknowledging tensions over trade and policies, many interviewees echoed a shared sentiment: cooperation isn’t just possible – it’s essential. As global youth navigate pandemic recovery and digital transformation, this Bali meeting sparks fresh questions: Could joint ventures in green energy or space exploration be next? 🚀🌱
