🌍 This year, young consumers are mixing Brazilian coffee ☕ with the latest Chinese electric cars 🚗, and they’re doing it in style. At the Central University of Finance and Economics (CUFE), CGTN’s Merna met students who show how global goods fuel local passions and spark fresh connections.
Gone are the days when online shopping was just about convenience. Now, e-commerce platforms are reshaping how youth discover, compare and share products across borders. Whether scrolling through TikTok trends or browsing Instagram reels, students swap tips on the best Brazilian roasts one moment and debate specs of China’s top EV brands the next. 📱✨
For many, these purchases go beyond a quick buy. They become stories: a cup of coffee shared over Zoom with a friend in São Paulo, or a weekend ride in a Chinese EV that’s as silent as it is sleek. Each choice reflects personal taste and a spirit of collaboration.
A CUFE student explains that they see shopping as cultural exploration, not just buying products. This mindset is driving new ideas for marketing, design and even environmental impact—because global shopping also means thinking about the planet.
In this era of rapid globalization, youth consumption is more than a trend. It’s a bridge that connects continents, languages and dreams. As young shoppers blend traditions from Brazil to China, they’re building a world where every purchase tells a shared story. 🌟
