Hey there, tech-savvy fam! 🌏 The 2025 APEC meetings just wrapped up, and President Xi Jinping announced that Shenzhen in south China will host the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in 2026. 🎉
We chatted with Tang Yan Joo, a Malaysian student at Tsinghua University, who found Xi's speech at the first session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting truly inspiring. She highlighted key takeaways that could supercharge the region:
- 🚀 Boosted trade so startups and small businesses can tap new markets
- 📡 Stronger digital links—from 5G to e-wallets—for seamless connections
- 🍃 Green initiatives that cut carbon footprints and spark jobs
- 🤝 Fair growth ensuring both city slickers and village communities benefit
“It’s all about turning big ideas into real action,” Tang says. For young pros balancing hustle and a heart for sustainability, these goals hit home. Whether you're coding apps in Jakarta, launching eco-projects in Kuala Lumpur, or freelancing in Manila, the message is clear: let’s build a tech-smart, green, and inclusive future together. 💪
