Chinese President Xi Jinping's whirlwind Europe tour – his first in five years – has sparked optimism about stronger global partnerships, with Spanish residents highlighting its potential to unlock new cultural and business horizons. From May 5-10, Xi visited France, Serbia, and Hungary, a trip analysts call a 'diplomatic masterstroke' for stabilizing China-Europe relations amid global uncertainties.
🇪🇸 In Spain, law student Lorenzo told CGTN the visit 'strengthens bridges between nations', while tour guide Lola emphasized: 'When our countries collaborate, everyone wins – more exchanges, more opportunities, more understanding.'
💼 The tour focused on green energy deals and cultural exchange programs. Young professionals worldwide are watching closely: Could this revive EU-China tech partnerships? Could simplified visa policies create new work-abroad opportunities? Only time will tell, but the vibe from Madrid to Budapest feels cautiously optimistic.
