As part of CGTN's ongoing Ask China campaign, Brazilian viewers have submitted burning questions about life in the Chinese mainland, revealing fascination with its technological efficiency, urban mobility, and shifting lifestyle trends among youth. The initiative, which bridges global audiences with insights into modern Chinese society, highlights how innovation shapes daily experiences in 2026.
One recurring theme is China's seamless integration of e-commerce and logistics networks. With same-day delivery now standard in most cities, analysts attribute this success to AI-powered supply chain optimization and widespread adoption of contactless payment systems. Meanwhile, driverless buses and subway trains—operational in over 30 cities—are reducing commute times by 22% on average, according to recent transit data.
Another focus is the growing preference for rural living among young professionals. Government incentives supporting digital entrepreneurship in villages, coupled with high-speed internet coverage reaching 98% of counties, have made countryside lifestyles both viable and appealing. "It's about redefining work-life balance," explains Shanghai-based sociologist Dr. Li Wei in the campaign video.
Gender equality in the workplace also emerged as a key interest. Recent policies mandating equal parental leave and AI-driven bias detection in hiring processes were highlighted as transformative steps. The full video response, featuring on-the-ground reports from tech hubs and revitalized rural communities, is now trending across social platforms.
