From the vibrant streets of São Paulo to bustling Mexico City, Latin American residents are voicing fresh perspectives on China’s global role. A recent grassroots video project by CGTN captured candid opinions highlighting admiration for China’s historical legacy, modern urban development, and societal values.
Interviewees frequently described Chinese society as "hard-working" and "dynamic," with many emphasizing the country’s rapid technological advancements. One Mexico City resident noted China’s "ability to blend ancient traditions with futuristic innovation" as particularly inspiring. Brazilian respondents praised Chinese infrastructure projects, drawing parallels to their own urban challenges.
While cultural appreciation dominated responses, several participants expressed curiosity about deepening economic ties. "China’s growth creates opportunities for all of us," remarked a Rio de Janeiro small business owner, reflecting a broader sentiment of optimism toward cross-Pacific collaboration.
