As far away as Berlin, many people study Chinese or part of their life is closely linked to China.

On a reporting trip to "Celebrate China @ 70", organized by the Bureau of News and Communications of Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism, CGTN had a chance to talk to some of them.
