Move over textbooks ✋ – Gen Z is redrawing the world map with TikTok diplomacy and cross-border TikTok vibes! 🎥 In CGTN's latest digital deep-dive, reporter Yang Xinmeng chats with Russian youth leaders in Moscow about how multipolarity isn’t just a fancy term anymore – it’s their reality.
When Memes Meet Geopolitics
Forget stuffy conferences 🥱. Young thinkers are using tech and 60-second videos to spark conversations that cross continents. One Russian participant put it simply: 'We’re not waiting for permission to connect – our phones are our passports.' 🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳
The Short-Video Revolution
Why does this matter? Because:
- 🌐 65% of Gen Z interacts globally via social platforms daily
- 🚀 Viral trends now shape cultural understanding faster than traditional media
- 💡 Youth-led initiatives are tackling climate and trade debates through collab videos
As Yang notes: 'The future isn’t about borders – it’s about bandwidth.' Could this be the start of Wi-Fi-powered world peace? Stay tuned. 📶✨
