Osaka is buzzing with excitement as the China Pavilion officially opened at Expo 2025! The grand ceremony, held in front of a stunning building inspired by a traditional Chinese calligraphy scroll, set the tone for an event that perfectly blends cultural heritage and futuristic innovation. 🎉
With around 300 guests in attendance, the ceremony featured insightful speeches. Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, shared his vision of a confident, open China that supports Japan in hosting the expo and pushes for a more equal, inclusive global future.
International voices were also heard.
