On her recent trip to the Chinese mainland, President of the Commonwealth of Dominica Sylvanie Burton joined forces with local reps to shine a spotlight on Dominica's investment potential. But it wasn't just business that stole the show.
CGTN Digital's He Beibei asked Burton what blew her mind the most – and she had two big takeaways. First, China's Global Leaders' Meeting on Women. 'It's amazing to see such a big commitment to women's causes,' she said, applauding the event and the follow-up initiatives that back women's progress in every sector. 👏♀️
Second, Burton was wowed by how the Chinese mainland preserves and presents its history. From interactive museums to digital storytelling, it's a full-on celebration of culture and memory. 'I love how they record and share their past,' she shared. 'It's so important for young people to know where they come from.' 📚✨
With TikTok trends and Instagram Reels shaping how we share our roots – from Bollywood dance reels in Mumbai to batik art TikToks in Jakarta – China's blend of tradition and tech feels like a perfect fit for digital natives everywhere.
For young adults across South and Southeast Asia, Burton's reflections are a reminder: championing equality and keeping history alive can spark real change. And that's something worth talking about. 🔥🌏
