Kris, an American social media manager working in Shenzhen, shares her firsthand experience of what China is really like. Before traveling to China, she imagined a traditional country; after arriving, she discovered modern cities, advanced technology and a highly convenient way of life. What struck her most was the efficiency of interconnected systems. Through Alipay, she can not only make payments, but also book high-speed train tickets, reserve hotels and arrange international mobile service β all in just ten minutes. She also felt the warmth of ordinary people: her apartment manager is learning English just to communicate with her directly. She believes young people especially can see that today's China is not the China their parents described. Regarding current China-US relations, she admits the US may view China as a competitor, but she hopes the US will treat China not as a rival, but as a partner β "There's a lot of things that both countries can bring to the table and can further develop the world together." πΊ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:π https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg π 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
