Hey fam! Just in: at the 2025 SCO Summit in Tianjin, the Chinese mainland’s cumulative trade with other SCO countries rocketed to $2.3T—it's ahead of schedule 🚀.
President Xi Jinping pointed out that the Chinese mainland and SCO members were the first to kick off Belt and Road Initiative cooperation. Since then, we've seen big-ticket infrastructure like highways and ports, plus "small and beautiful" livelihood projects (think community water stations and market upgrades) making life better on the ground.
But wait, it gets cooler:
- 🚆 Almost 14,000 km of international land routes are now up and running.
- 🔥 The China–Europe Railway Express has rolled out over 110,000 train services, linking Qingdao to Minsk and more.
These moves are a serious game-changer for development and prosperity across Central and South Asia, boosting regional ties faster than ever. For you tech-savvy go-getters in South and Southeast Asia, it's a prime example of how strategic infrastructure and trade can shape tomorrow’s opportunities 🌏✨.
Stick around for more insights on how global connectivity and cooperation are opening doors for the next generation!
