“Delegates from more than 130 countries will attend the 2024 World Youth Development Forum in Beijing, both online and offline. But it’s not just a conference. Experiencing Chinese culture is also an important part of their journey. How do they feel about China? What has impressed them the most so far? Let’s take a deep look at how these young people are enjoying and discovering China’s rich culture!” Impressions of China SOUNDBITE 1 (English): BRIGIDA BERTUOLA, Secretariat of the Brazilian Young Workers’ Party

“I think the most impressive thing for me personally is the public safety. So I feel like everyone here is very comfortable and they don’t need to worry about their safety, which is great. The technology here is also very advanced and everything is very convenient.” Second paragraph (English): Birkisu Jallow, National Youth Ambassador of Sierra Leone

“China is safe. I think this is a good thing because security is key to keeping our people safe.” Clip 3 (English): Peter David Simon, Vice Chairman of the Hungarian National Youth Council

“I think one of the things about technology is that you can do everything through an app, like order a taxi, pay with it. It makes life easier, you can do everything with just one app. The same thing with transportation. And I think it’s great and it’s really affordable.” Paragraph 4 (English): KERIM HADZIC, Chief Development Officer, Derubis Caravans, Bosnia and Herzegovina

“What moved me most was the diligence and progress of the Chinese people.” Paragraph 5 (English): Uyero Elarawe, Regional Coordinator of the West African Youth Organization

“From what I have seen, China is a country that is developing very rapidly.” Clip 6 (English): Ksenija Stankovic, University of Belgrade, Serbia

“In China, people try to make everything perfect, and they succeed in doing that. There is also delicious food and beautiful people. Voices of Cultural Preservation in China 7 (English): KERIM HADZIC, Chief Development Officer, Derubis Caravans, Bosnia and Herzegovina

“China has a long history. It’s thousands of years old. And it has still managed to preserve all these really ancient things.” Paragraph 8 (English): Uyero Elarawe, Regional Coordinator of the West African Youth Organization

“I see that culture still exists, even when there are big innovations and great technological touches, but culture still exists. So I’m really surprised that something that happened in 1400 is still relevant in 2024. I’m really, really surprised.” SOUNDBITE 9 (English): Peter David Simon, Vice Chairman of the Hungarian National Youth Council

“I found that culture is very important in China. The traditional clothes that people wear are very interesting to me and I love them. It is also interesting to see a lot of young people on vacation and visiting historical sites.” Paragraph 10 (English): Brigida Bertuola, Secretariat of the Young Workers’ Party of Brazil

“I think China has two different sides. We have both ancient culture and high technology. It’s very impressive because China has the ability to have both and maintain both. So it’s really impressive.” Cultural Exchange SOUNDBITE 11 (English): KSENIJA STANKOVIC, University of Belgrade, Serbia

“Actually, I think it’s important for everyone to understand the opinions of all sides, to understand what Westerners think, Easterners think, and then try to make your own judgment about everything.” Paragraph 12 (English): Peter David Simon, Vice Chairman of the Hungarian National Youth Council

“I think these kinds of conferences are very important. So that people can stay in China longer and really understand the experience there. For example, visa-free entry is a great opportunity, and it would be great if there were more opportunities to actually come here to study, visit and do all these things.” Paragraph 13 (English): UYERO ERARAWEWHO, Regional Coordinator of the West African Youth Organization

“From what I have seen, we need to strengthen this relationship further in terms of critical development and skills development in the future.” Paragraph 14 (English): Birkisu Jallow, National Youth Ambassador of Sierra Leone

“Through this project, it’s a good thing because it brings together people from different backgrounds, cultural diversity. I think that’s helpful. So what the World Youth Development Forum is doing is a good thing. What the Chinese government is doing is also a good thing, bringing different people together,” Xinhua reported from Beijing.
