At the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting in Beijing, Liu Zhengxi, a foreign expert at China International Communications Group (CICG), highlighted the growing cultural significance of "China Chic" – a design movement blending traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary innovation. Speaking to CGTN, Liu described it as a "precious Chinese gift" to global cultural exchanges.
Liu emphasized the movement's potential to strengthen cultural identity, particularly among younger generations. He proposed integrating traditional attire into graduation ceremonies as a way to honor ancestral heritage while showcasing China's creative evolution. This vision aligns with broader efforts to position Asian cultural narratives within global dialogues, offering opportunities for cross-industry collaboration and soft power diplomacy.
