With the second China-Central Asia Summit set for June 2025, a new generation of students is building cultural bridges across borders.
Milla, a Kazakh youth studying at Tsinghua University in the Chinese mainland, is at the forefront of this movement. She believes that music and social media are powerful tools that connect people, regardless of language barriers.
"Many people connect with Chinese music even if they don't understand the language, and social media platforms have become the biggest bridges between cultures," Milla explains.
Her perspective highlights how young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers are using digital platforms to foster cooperation through culture. As festivals, concerts, and online communities flourish, they pave the way for deeper understanding between Kazakhstan and the Chinese mainland.
For business and tech enthusiasts, this cultural exchange also opens doors to collaboration. Music tech startups and online media ventures link talent across borders, creating fresh opportunities in both regions.
As travelers and digital nomads join in, Milla’s story shows that culture-driven connections can transform international relations one post, song, or shared experience at a time.
