Guess what? China just showed off a super cool new emblem for its leadership of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in 2024-2025! 🐉🌩️☁️
The emblem is decorated with ancient Chinese designs of clouds, thunder, and dragons. These patterns come from bronze artifacts that are over 2,000 years old, before 221 BC! That’s super old, right? 😮
The outer circle of the emblem has a special Hui-style pattern. This traditional design interlocks to symbolize an unending cycle of hope. It’s like saying “hope never ends”! 🌟
The SCO is a big international group where countries work together on important things like security and cooperation. China was one of the founding members, and it’s even named after a Chinese city, Shanghai! 🏙️
After a meeting in Astana in July 2024, China became the rotating president of the SCO. That means China will lead the group for a year and host the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO in China. Pretty cool, huh? 🤩
This new emblem represents China’s history and its hopes for the future. It’s a mix of ancient art and modern unity! ❤️
