The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) commenced in Beijing on September 2, with the United Kingdom participating as the guest of honor. Showcasing a strong commitment to fostering international ties, the UK has sent its largest-ever delegation to the event. Over 60 British companies and organizations are presenting their innovations in creativity, education, technology, healthcare, and financial services.
In London’s Russell Square, members of the local Gen Z community shared their perspectives on Chinese culture and intellectual property. They discussed their appreciation for Chinese film, music, and literature, highlighting the cultural exchange between the two nations. One young Londoner expressed his fondness for the classical Chinese song “Jasmine Flower,” even demonstrating his ability to play it.
The enthusiasm of British youth for Chinese culture underscores the potential for deeper collaboration between the UK and China in the cultural, creative, and sports industries. As CIFTIS continues, these shared interests may pave the way for new partnerships and mutual growth.
