Meet Dickenson Sy, a young economics and finance student at Tsinghua University in Beijing, who’s buzzing about how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is reshaping his home country, the Philippines. 🌟
From Classrooms to Cross-Border Collaboration
Sy, a passionate advocate for global cooperation, highlights the BRI’s role in boosting transportation, infrastructure, and energy projects in the Philippines. 🚆 ‘When Chinese companies invest, they don’t just build roads—they build opportunities,’ he says, pointing to rising employment and wages for Filipinos.
Tourism as a Bridge 🌉
Sy also emphasizes the surge in Chinese tourists, which he calls a ‘win-win’ for cultural exchange and economic growth. 💬 ‘More visitors mean more jobs, from hotels to local markets. It’s about connecting people, not just economies.’
A Vision for Peace and Prosperity
With youthful optimism, Sy sees the BRI as a catalyst for a ‘more peaceful world’—one where collaboration trumps competition. 🌍✨ ‘This isn’t just policy; it’s about creating futures,’ he adds.
