Did you know that Shanghai, Qingdao and Tianjin are playing starring roles in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)'s push for closer ties across the Chinese mainland and beyond? Let's take a whirlwind tour 🌪️🌏
Shanghai: The Birthplace of Regional Security & Economic Integration
On the east coast, Shanghai isn't just a skyline of skyscrapers. It's where regional security talks and economic integration ideas first took shape on the Chinese mainland. This global hub welcomed thinkers, diplomats and investors – laying the foundation for today's SCO cooperation.
Qingdao: Linking Ports, Trade & Innovation
Next stop, Qingdao! Famous for its beaches and Tsingtao beer, this port city is also the bridge between SCO trade routes and major global enterprises. Imagine cargo ships buzzing in and out, fueling industries and connecting supply chains across continents 🚢🤝.
Tianjin: Green Development & Skills for Tomorrow
Finally, meet Tianjin, set to host the 2025 SCO Summit. Beyond its modern skyline, Tianjin is leading the charge on green development and vocational training programs. Think solar parks, electric buses and hands-on workshops that equip young talent for future jobs 🌿🔧.
These cities aren't just pins on a map; they're vibrant communities driving innovation, sustainability and cross-border friendships. Discover more in CGTN's special "A Home Across Borders" and see how stories of connection are shaping our world 🏡✨.
