As China marks 45 years of reform and opening up, Colombian vlogger Fernando Munoz Bernal — a 20-year resident of the country — shares his firsthand perspective on its meteoric rise from isolation to global economic giant. 🚀
\"China's transformation is like watching a rocket take off in slow motion,\" Fernando says. He credits the policy shift in 1978 for unlocking innovation, fostering international trade ties, and empowering a consumer-driven society. 💡🛍️
With over four decades of growth, China now contributes nearly 20% to global GDP. Fernando highlights key factors for the future: diversifying trade partnerships (think BRICS+ vibes 🌐), boosting domestic spending among Gen-Z shoppers, and maintaining dialogue with Western markets.
\"This isn't just China's story anymore — it's about how the world grows together,\" he adds, nodding to initiatives like the Belt and Road. 🌉✨
