Hey there! Did you know that China and countries in Central and Eastern Europe are becoming really good friends? 🤝 They are working together on lots of awesome projects that help everyone! Let’s find out more!
Ningbo: The Super Connector 🌐
Ningbo is a city in eastern China that’s like a big gateway between China and Central Europe. They’ve built a huge center (as big as 5 soccer fields!) where they bring in lots of cool products from Central Europe. 🛍️ You can find things like yummy chocolates, toys, and fancy clothes there!
They even use fun ways like livestreaming (kind of like watching your favorite YouTuber!) to show these products to people all over China. Since 2018, trade between Ningbo and Central Europe has grown super fast! 🚀
Big Expo Coming Up! 🛍️
From May 22 to May 25, there’s a big event called the China-CEEC Expo happening in Ningbo. 🎉 It’s like a giant fair where people can see and buy lots of products from Central Europe, and businesses can make new friends and partners. It’s going to be so cool!
Working Together for 13 Years! 🗓️
China and Central Europe started working closely together 13 years ago. Since then, they’ve made over 500 plans to cooperate in things like transportation, energy, culture, and even health! That’s a lot of teamwork! 🤗
Trade and Investment Growing 🌱
The trade between China and Central Europe has been growing every year. In fact, last year it reached a record high of $142.3 billion! 💰 Also, China has invested over $24 billion in Central European countries. This means more jobs and better things for people in both places.
Cool Projects 🚄⚡
They’ve worked together on more than 20 big projects! For example:
- The Budapest-Belgrade railway, making train travel faster and easier. 🚆
- The Piraeus Port in Greece, which is now one of Europe’s biggest ports! 🛳️ It used to be struggling, but now it’s super busy and successful.
- A wind power project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, helping to make clean energy. 🌬️
Travel Made Easier ✈️
There are now more than 50 flights every week between China and Central Europe. That means it’s easier for people to visit each other and learn about different cultures. 🌍 China has even made it easier to get visas for people from these countries.
