As global leaders gathered in Kazakhstan for the 24th SCO Summit, we hit the streets of Thiruvananthapuram, India's tech-savvy Kerala capital, to hear what young locals think about cross-border cooperation with China. Spoiler: The vibes are optimistic!
\"China's economic growth story is like watching a masterclass in development,\" says Kiran Kumar K., a finance professor at Gulati Institute. \"There's huge potential for knowledge-sharing in tech and sustainability.\"
But it's not all business – cultural curiosity shines too! Student Amina Reem V.P. geeked out about Chinese philosophy: \"Yin and Yang? That balance concept is pure genius! It's like life's ultimate playlist – you need both upbeat tracks and soulful ballads.\"
With both nations being SCO heavyweights, locals hope for: Joint innovation labs
Student exchange programs
Cultural fusion projects
As one interviewee put it: \"When elephants dance, the ground shakes – but in a good way.\" Here's to more #GlobalCollab energy!
