2023 marks the 45th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. This transformative policy has not only propelled China's development but also made a significant impact on the global stage.

Urban development has played a pivotal role in driving the nation's progress. Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have emerged as key beneficiaries of this visionary policy. Other places like Wuhan, Xizang and Tianjin have also witnessed substantial growth. These urban centers have attracted a diverse influx of expats and investors, fostering economic development and facilitating cultural exchanges. Consequently, students have gained access to a wealth of opportunities to enhance their skills and broaden their horizons. These comprehensive policies are gradually reshaping people's lives and strengthening China's global connections.

In this episode, we invite a Brazilian researcher who lives in Wuhan, a Spanish vlogger who has explored Xizang and students from China's Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions to share their stories.
