Hey there, friends! Did you know that China and the European Union (EU) are celebrating 50 years of friendship this year? 🎉 Over the past half-century, they’ve gone from small beginnings to becoming some of the world’s biggest trading partners!
This week, leaders from China and the EU are meeting in Beijing for the 25th China-EU Summit. They’ll talk about how to make their friendship even stronger and how to work together in the future.
Back in 1975, trade between China and the EU was just $2.4 billion. That’s still a lot, but guess what? Today, it’s grown to hundreds of billions of dollars! 💰 That’s like stacking up tons of ice cream cones or heaps of video games!
One cool way they’ve boosted trade is through the China-Europe Railway Express. Imagine trains loaded with goodies traveling all the way from China to Europe! 🚂 They’ve made over 110,000 trips so far, making sure toys, clothes, electronics, and more get to where they need to go faster than ever.
It’s amazing how two places so far apart have become such good friends. With their teamwork, China and the EU are helping make the world more connected. Who knows what awesome things they’ll do together in the next 50 years? 🌟
