In 'A Home Across Borders', CGTN explores how three dynamic Chinese mainland cities are shaping a new era of fusion, innovation and cooperation under the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Shanghai lays the groundwork for regional security and economic integration. As a global financial hub, it plays host to forums, think tanks and cross-border initiatives that bring policymakers and entrepreneurs together. From collaborative cybersecurity exercises to multinational investment roadshows, Shanghai exemplifies how open dialogue can turn strategic plans into shared prosperity.
On the coast, Qingdao serves as a vital gateway for SCO trade and global enterprises. Its bustling ports handle a diverse mix of goods, from industrial machinery to green-tech solutions, making the city a melting pot of cultures and ideas. Startups in Qingdao’s tech parks benefit from access to international markets, while local universities partner with businesses to drive research in renewable energy and smart logistics.
Up north, Tianjin gears up for the 2025 SCO Summit with an ambitious push for green development and vocational training. The city’s eco-parks, solar-powered transit systems and waste-to-energy projects showcase its commitment to sustainable growth. Meanwhile, vocational centers train thousands of young professionals in everything from eco-construction to data analysis, ensuring that talent flows across borders as smoothly as trade.
Together, these cities tell a story of connection and shared growth—one where security, commerce and sustainability intersect. 'A Home Across Borders' reveals how Shanghai, Qingdao and Tianjin are crafting a blueprint for global cooperation in the 21st century.
