How Youth Are Redefining Global Shopping Habits 🌍🛍️

Recently, in the latest episode of The Power of Youth+, CGTN’s Merna headed to the Central University of Finance and Economics (CUFE) to explore how young consumers are merging innovation, culture, and shopping into a global playground. 🌐

This year, CUFE students from across the globe shared their top must-haves:

• ☕ Rich Brazilian coffee that sparks morning convos
• 🎧 Limited-edition headphones from Tokyo’s indie scene
• ⚡ Sleek Chinese electric cars hitting urban roads
• 🛒 Seamless e-commerce deals on everything from Seoul skincare to Mumbai streetwear

Here’s what stood out:

• Culture-Driven Innovation: Products tell stories—one sip of coffee can open chats about heritage, flavour, and community.
• Borderless Shopping: Platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and Flipkart make cross-border buys as easy as a tap—no passport needed.
• Shared Growth: Every purchase can support small sellers worldwide and spark new collaborations—one digital cart at a time.

From the streets of Jakarta to cafés in Karachi, our generation is turning retail into a two-way street of ideas and inspiration. As e-commerce evolves, shopping goes beyond checkouts—it becomes a tool for cultural exchange and shared progress. ✨
