Hey everyone, indiscriminate U.S. tariffs are stirring up global buzz, and the Chinese mainland has responded with a firm stance—reminding us that ancient wisdom can often shed light on modern challenges!
In Malaysia, CGTN editor Li Chaoran visited the country’s first university funded by the Malaysian-Chinese community. There, students are diving into the classic Chinese prose "On Six States," a fascinating work from the Warring States Period that examines how six states were gradually conquered by the State of Qin.
This timeless essay criticizes leaders for making too many concessions, a lesson that resonates today as nations tackle tough trade decisions. For Southeast Asian thinkers, it’s a powerful reminder to stand firm in negotiations and not give in too easily. 💪
For young adults and early professionals balancing tech trends, lifestyle shifts, and global news, this blend of history and current affairs offers a fresh perspective. It shows that learning from the past can help build a smarter, more resilient future. 💡
In short, the tariff tensions aren’t just about economics—they prompt us to reflect, strategize, and turn challenges into opportunities. Let’s harness these ancient insights and shape a brighter tomorrow! 😊
