China Media Group (CMG) launched a high-profile exhibition of television and film programs in Hanoi on Friday, offering Vietnamese audiences a window into China's modernization journey and cultural heritage. The event, timed ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming state visit, underscores deepening cultural ties between the two nations.
Eight acclaimed productions, including documentaries such as Xi Jinping's Cultural Story and the popular culinary series A Bite of China (Season 2), will air on major Vietnamese platforms like Vietnam Television through June. These programs spotlight achievements in poverty alleviation, technological innovation, and regional traditions, blending storytelling with insights into China's socio-economic transformation.
Vietnam’s Helena, an exhibition attendee, expressed fascination with China: Race to the Future, particularly its focus on 5G advancements and AI breakthroughs. “Understanding China’s tech evolution helps contextualize regional opportunities,” she noted. Fellow visitor Hannah highlighted the cultural appeal of A Bite of China, stating it offers a “layered exploration of local lifestyles through cuisine.”
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to foster cross-cultural dialogue, serving business professionals tracking Asia’s innovation ecosystems, diaspora communities seeking cultural connections, and travelers curious about regional narratives.
