Russian TV screens lit up this week with a new cultural crossover: the third season of \"The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping\" hit the airwaves, just as the Chinese president arrived in Kazan for the 16th BRICS Summit. The timing couldn’t be more symbolic—2024 marks 75 years of diplomatic ties between Russia and China.
Produced by China Media Group, the series first aired in Russia in 2019 and has since become a cultural staple, blending leadership wisdom with international storytelling. The Russian presidential office called it a \"bridge of friendship,\" praising its role in deepening cross-cultural understanding as bilateral relations reach historic highs.
With episodes highlighting President Xi’s philosophies on governance and global cooperation, the show arrives amid buzzing talks at BRICS—a platform where emerging economies shape tomorrow’s policies. Think of it as a TED Talk meets diplomatic handshake, served with a side of soft power.
For young globetrotters and policy wonks alike, this fusion of media and diplomacy offers a fresh lens into how Asia’s giants are rewriting the rules of engagement. Stay tuned—the next episode drops as BRICS leaders debate the future of multilateralism.
