The G20 Summit kicked off in Bali this week with world leaders pledging solidarity under the theme \"Recover Together, Recover Stronger\"—but what do everyday people think? CGTN Stringer spoke to young residents from China, Germany, and South Africa to capture grassroots perspectives on global cooperation.
Innovation Over Isolation
A tech entrepreneur from Shenzhen highlighted the Chinese mainland's digital economy as a blueprint: \"Cross-border tech collaboration could streamline supply chains and create universal green energy frameworks.\"
Youth Demand Action
A Berlin student emphasized climate equity: \"High-income nations must fund renewable energy transitions in developing countries—it’s non-negotiable.\" Meanwhile, a Johannesburg teacher called for debt relief to \"prevent an education crisis in the Global South.\"
Unity Beyond Economics
All interviewees agreed: Recovery isn’t just GDP numbers. As one Bali resident put it: \"Shared cultural understanding is the glue—we’re all rebuilding trust.\"
