From receptionist to manager: Elizabeth's 8-year journey at a Chinese firm

Elizabeth Lindon, a 46-year-old from Papua New Guinea, is now a senior supervisor at BNBM PNG in Port Moresby. Over eight years, she has worked her way up from office receptionist to forklift operator – breaking the stereotype that operating forklifts is "a man's job" – and then into management. Her journey shows how China-APEC cooperation can translate into tangible benefits for individuals and families. CGTN presents a special series on the role of China's centrally administered SOEs in the Asia-Pacific, in collaboration with China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). The series explores their contributions to regional connectivity, the green transition, the digital economy, industrial cooperation and people's livelihoods, offering insights into building a shared future for the region. #APECChina2026 #APECChinaYear 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
