Lana, a German linguistics student with a passion for Chinese culture, is championing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a transformative force in global cooperation. The 23-year-old, who studies Chinese language and culture, calls the BRI a 'bridge for shared prosperity' that strengthens ties between nations like China and Germany.
'The BRI isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about creating a fairer playing field,'
Lana told NewspaperAmigo. She highlights how the initiative has boosted trade between China and Germany, with bilateral goods trade exceeding €230 billion in 2023.
As a Gen Z advocate for globalization, Lana argues that the BRI helps developing countries access new markets and resources, while fostering cultural exchanges that 'make the world feel smaller, but opportunities feel bigger.' Her perspective reflects growing youth interest in international collaboration models that prioritize mutual growth over zero-sum competition.
