The year 2025 marks the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan. What changes have occurred in China over the past five years? How do young people around the world perceive them? CGTN Stringer interviewed international youth familiar with China to share their insights on the country's progress in technology, lifestyle, culture and the economy.

In this episode, young people from France, Brazil, Iran and South Africa shared their expectations for cooperation between China and their countries. Noé Comellas from France said, "I would really like to see cooperation between technological innovation and the energy transition. Together, the two countries could accelerate and advance the global energy transition more effectively." Another young person from South Africa, Aluwani Mavhungu, hopes that China and South Africa can strengthen their educational partnership by launching more student exchange programs, thereby promoting knowledge sharing and fostering the collective growth of youth from both nations.
