Editor's note: The year 2022 is coming to an end. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the EU energy crisis... All these major events impact everyone's life. To get a better understanding of 2022, T-House designs a special program to review the year with its Top 10 tweets on Twitter and posts on Facebook. Beyond those trending topics and hot spot issues, we still have more to discover. Following are the T-House Top 10 tweets in 2022.

The year 2022 has been unusual for the world. Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, countries are supporting an economic rebound. But the unexpected escalation of the Russia-Ukraine crisis had increased global uncertainties. High inflation, an impending economic recession, and the EU energy crisis... All of these obstacles serve as a fresh test of global unity. United or divided? Countries made their choices and bore the consequences.

It's difficult to sum up such a unique year in a single word. Humans and nature, laughter and tears, war and peace... Trending hashtags on the internet indicate what's going on in the world and what people are concerned about right now. But it isn't enough. There are other matters worth noting besides the trending hashtags. T-House, which presents a non-Western perspective on today's multipolar world and tells authentic China stories, posted thousands of tweets in 2022. It covered trending topics and much more.

As the last day of 2022 approaches, the T-House team selects and ranks 10 tweets from more than 3,000 tweets posted in 2022, based on the total impression and engagement volumes, as well as the popularity of topics.

Let's review the T-House's top 10 tweets for 2022 and discover more.
