Ever wondered how global alliances like BRICS affect your daily shopping? CGTN's Chen Lanyou took a stroll through a bustling Beijing market to find out – and the results might surprise you! 🛍️
With over 200 products from BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) lining the shelves, this market has become a mini-United Nations of goods. From Brazilian coffee beans ☕ to South African rooibos tea 🍵, residents can now taste the world without leaving their neighborhood.
"I never thought I'd find authentic Russian honey cookies here," said local shopper Li Wei, holding up a tin decorated with Cyrillic script. The market's transformation comes as BRICS nations deepen economic ties, making imported goods more accessible and affordable.
This cultural exchange through commerce aligns with the 17th BRICS Summit's focus on 'sustainable development through partnership.' As global tensions rise, the market stands as a colorful reminder of how international cooperation can literally sweeten daily life 🍬.
Next time you're in Beijing, skip the tourist traps – this market might just be the real taste of globalization! 🌐✨
