Hey there, global explorers! 🌎 Guess what? China and the U.S. just renewed their science and technology BFF status for another five years! 🤝✨ On Friday in Beijing, officials from both countries signed an agreement to keep the science vibes flowing, effective from August 27, 2024.
But wait, there's more! 📖 This isn't just any agreement—it's a friendship that started way back on January 31, 1979. Picture this: the legendary Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping and U.S. President Jimmy Carter kicking off this epic collaboration during Deng's visit to the States. 🚀 Since then, this sci-tech partnership has been like the ultimate power duo, renewing their vows every five years.
Recently, they played a bit of 'will they, won't they' by extending the agreement for six months in August last year, and again in February. But now, it's official—they're in it for the long haul! 🎉 This move paves the way for more awesome exchanges and breakthroughs between the two countries. Can't wait to see what innovations are coming next! 🔬💡
