For over 13 years, Syrian vlogger Zein Ali has called China his home, witnessing firsthand the nation’s rapid development and its global initiatives. In a recent video, Zein shares his insights on how China’s involvement is bringing peace and growth to his homeland, Syria.
The China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a transformative project aimed at enhancing global connectivity through policy coordination, infrastructure development, trade facilitation, financial integration, and people-to-people exchanges. By fostering collaboration among participating countries, the BRI strives to deliver mutual benefits and shared prosperity.
Syria’s decision to join the BRI in 2022 marked a significant milestone for the nation. “Joining the BRI revives the old role of Syria in the ancient Silk Road and brings huge help to Syria’s economy,” Zein explains. He believes that this partnership opens up vast opportunities for cooperation with China and other countries, paving the way for economic revitalization.
As a Syrian residing in China, Zein has observed China’s continuous support for Syria during challenging times. “Whether it was during the COVID-19 pandemic or after the earthquake that struck Syria two months ago, China’s assistance has been unwavering,” he notes. The aid provided has not only addressed immediate needs but also reinforced the foundation for long-term development.
Zein is optimistic about the future, asserting that China’s involvement can bring lasting peace and development to Syria. He emphasizes the importance of international collaboration in rebuilding his country and highlights the role of initiatives like the BRI in facilitating such efforts.
Through his experiences and observations, Zein offers a unique perspective on the positive impact of global partnerships. His story underscores the potential for nations to come together in pursuit of common goals, fostering a more connected and prosperous world.
