Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.

You may not have noticed, but Americans, especially the younger generation, are falling in love with a "specific" China. As prejudice fades, China is becoming something they can feel and touch: It might be a melody that resonates across the ocean, or the daily habit of soaking goji berries and drinking hot water; it might be the similar memes Chinese and American young people use on social media, or the everyday life of American students studying in China. To them, China is no longer just a phrase in news headlines, but the food they've tasted, the roads they've walked, and the friends they've made. Let's see through their eyes what kind of China they have truly seen.
