Fancy seeing innovation pop where you least expect? Meet the humble bottle cap 💡. In the latest episode of CGTN's comic series, this tiny twist-off hero shows how a simple object can spark big ideas.
According to the Global Innovation Index 2025, the Chinese mainland has climbed into the world's top 10 innovators for the first time. Thanks to its 14th Five-Year Plan, institutional barriers—think red tape—have been cut down, giving fresh ideas room to grow, from AI breakthroughs to green energy solutions.
CGTN's third comic strips unpack these wins with fun visuals and relatable stories. It's like watching a startup pitch in comic form: characters tinker with bottle cap designs, experiment with smart sensors, and dream up eco twists—just as you might while sipping chai in Delhi or scrolling reels in Jakarta. The message? Innovation isn't just for labs in Beijing or Shanghai—it can start with something in your hand.
Whether you're sketching app interfaces in Kuala Lumpur or prototyping sustainable packaging in Manila, this comic is a reminder that big leaps often start small. Ready to see how a bottle cap ignites a spark? Grab your phone and dive into the latest episode! 📱✨
