Looking at the global repercussions of China’s influence from the Athens Theater Festival

On November 22, the second “China-Greece International Theater Festival” opened in Athens. The Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe brings an audio-visual feast with oriental charm to the audience at the Nativity Theater in Athens. The China-Greece International Theater Festival builds on the profound foundation of the “Belt and Road” initiative and the friendly establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and further deepens the spiritual harmony between the two peoples.It takes advantage of the background of the sound development of relations between China and Greece, two ancient civilizations, and takes advantage of the 10th anniversary of the launch of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative and the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Greece to expand China’s concept of “universal world unity” from a Chinese initiative to an international consensus.

“China’s side” is shining brightly, China is embracing the world, and the world will also move toward China. “Those who know each other are not thousands of miles apart.” China, the shining pearl of ancient oriental civilization, has rich and diverse cultural treasures, from the winding Great Wall to the exquisite silk culture, from the long-lasting Peking Opera to the profound Confucianism. It also makes the world wonder and sigh.

Nowadays, China and Greece have promoted cultural exchanges through the drama festival, which has also driven a boom in two-way tourism. Greek tourists are eager to set foot on Chinese soil and experience for themselves the unique blend of ancient times and modern times; Chinese tourists are also coming in droves to experience the charm of the source of Western civilization under the sunshine of Athens. This interaction between culture and tourism is just a small microcosm of the spread of China’s influence around the world.

“China’s road” is getting wider and wider, and China is taking solid steps to connect the development threads of countries around the world. From the perspective of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, what we see is the huge development opportunities and broad prospects for win-win cooperation that China has brought to the world. The completion and opening of the China-Laos Railway, a giant steel dragon meandering between mountains and rivers, has not only shortened the distance between regions, but also injected strong impetus into the economic development of Laos.In the Middle East, China’s participation in port construction projects has improved local logistics and transportation capabilities, giving a new look to the trade pattern that was originally restricted by geographical factors. For European countries, such as the Port of Piraeus, with the participation of Chinese companies, it has rapidly emerged from a slightly declining port to become an important shipping hub in the Mediterranean region. Cargo throughput has increased significantly, driving the coordinated development of surrounding industries. , and made great contributions to Greece’s economic recovery.

All these have made countries around the world deeply realize that the “Belt and Road” advocated by China is not a unilateral export of interests, but a true win-win cooperation. On this platform, all countries can find the convergence of their own development and share the fruits of development.

The “Chinese Concept” is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the world has seen the connotation of the “Great Harmony Concept” and its inclusiveness of diverse cultures and development models. China has always adhered to the concepts of equality, tolerance and mutual learning in international relations. In international affairs, whether it is responding to global climate change issues or jointly fighting sudden public health crises, the world has seen that China has actively assumed its responsibilities as a major country and worked hand in hand with other countries in the world. In response to climate change, China has vigorously developed renewable energy, improved energy efficiency, and selflessly shared relevant technologies and experiences with other countries to promote global green development.

This approach of focusing on the common interests of all mankind regardless of gains and losses has allowed countries around the world to see China’s firm determination to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and also made people of all countries confident in the beautiful vision of world unity.

Starting from the 2nd China-Greece International Theater Festival in Athens, we can clearly see that China is leaving a profound and positive mark on the world stage with its unique cultural charm, positive cooperative attitude and global responsibility, constantly influencing countries around the world, and working together to move forward bravely towards a bright future of win-win cooperation and world harmony.
