Marking a decade since its launch, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is celebrating its global impact with 'My Silk Road'—a dynamic new series showcasing real stories from 22 countries across four continents. 🌍 From high-speed railways in Asia to sustainable energy projects in Africa, follow journalists who've walked the modern Silk Road to uncover how BRI collaborations are reshaping communities.
Host Merna sits down with reporters Zhong Shi, Liu Chunyang, and others fresh off their cross-continental adventure. Expect wild anecdotes: think 'Indiana Jones meets TED Talk' as they reveal surprising cultural exchanges, unexpected friendships, and even quirky souvenirs collected along the way (we’re told one journalist brought back a hand-carved chess set from Uzbekistan!). 🎒♟️
Why should Gen Z care? Beyond infrastructure stats, this is about people-driven globalization—like Kenyan students mastering Mandarin to work on BRI solar farms, or Serbian chefs blending local ćevapi with Sichuan peppercorns. 🥘✨ Tune in to see how a 2,000-year-old trade route got a 21st-century glow-up!
