Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is making waves online with his behind-the-scenes vlog during this week's state visit to the Chinese mainland. The 🎥 video diary, posted across social platforms, offers Gen-Z viewers a rare peek into \"friendship diplomacy\" in action.
Clips show Maduro touring Beijing’s tech hubs, sampling street food (🥟 dumplings got a presidential thumbs-up!), and discussing economic partnerships with Chinese officials. One scene capturing a traditional lion dance performance has already racked up 1M+ views on TikTok.
While details of new agreements remain under wraps, analysts say the vlog’s casual style reflects China’s growing use of digital soft power. \"This isn’t just about oil deals,\" notes international relations student Li Wei. \"It’s showing cross-cultural connection through the language young people understand – viral content.\"
