In an increasingly interconnected world, cultural diversity stands as a cornerstone for effective collaboration. Cui Hongjian, director of the Department for European Studies at the China Institute of International Studies (CIIS), emphasizes that the cultural differences between China and European countries should not be viewed as sources of competition. Instead, these differences offer a wealth of diverse solutions that can enhance China-Europe cooperation.
Cui argues that recognizing and valuing cultural diversity can lead to innovative approaches and mutual understanding, fostering stronger partnerships between the two regions. By leveraging their unique perspectives and strengths, China and Europe can address global challenges more effectively and create sustainable growth.
This perspective highlights the importance of intercultural dialogue and the need to move beyond competitive narratives, paving the way for a more harmonious and productive international relationship.
