The 4th China-Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) Expo is held in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, east China. The expo fully showcases the fruitful achievements in economic and trade cooperation, as well as cultural exchanges, between China and Central and Eastern European countries. In terms of economic and trade expansion, this year's expo has significantly broadened the scope of participating countries. In addition to innovations from 14 CEEC nations, the expo also welcomes nine non-CEEC countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany. It spotlights breakthroughs in "Green Tech," "Smart Manufacturing" and "Cultural Exchanges" – from AI robots to eco-friendly solutions – that align with Belt and Road industrial synergies.

In this episode of The Hype, CGTN's Nadim Diab leads a discussion featuring cross-cultural insights and economic and trade exchanges between China and CEEC. Guests include Polish Fudan University student Maksymilian Szabatin, British influencer Teshkow Sharif and CGTN reporter Shen Shiwei. Join CGTN's roundtable, co-hosted with the Ningbo Daily Group International Communication Center, as we explore the shared vision of China and CEEC countries in advancing modernization together.
