Chongqing-The first all-English international broadcast program in Chongqing, the 173rd episode of "Let's Meet," titled “Global Youth Envoys Gather in Chongqing”, jointly produced by the Western China International Communication Organization and Chongqing Satellite TV, will be aired on both domestic and international media on January 3.


Chinese-made micro-dramas are taking overseas audiences by storm. With their fast-paced formula—hooking viewers in three seconds and keeping them engaged for three minutes —they’ve gone viral across many regions, becoming a new cultural phenomenon. We spoke with researchers from Tsinghua University and international journalists to understand this trend from a professional perspective. In this episode of Bridging News, let’s take a closer look at how Chinese micro-dramas are going global.

In our previous episode, we introduced the renowned Chinese-American media figure Yue-Sai Kan, whose decades of cross-cultural work have left a lasting impact. Now, she returns to social media with her new program One World, continuing to build bridges in a contemporary way. Revisiting this land after decades, her perspective is both unique and profound. In this episode of Dialogue, let's listen to her firsthand account of how Chongqing—and China as a whole—has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 40 years.


In the previous episode, we explored why young people are drawn to second-hand items, as we roamed Chongqing’s flea markets and discovered the stories behind old objects. But how do shop owners—key players in this market—see this shift? In this episode of iChongqing, we shift perspectives and hear from local second-hand shop owners as they explore how they define the value of old items—and how they run their businesses amid this growing trend.


Recently, the "Seeking Unity Across Lands and Seas" Land-Sea International Youth Envoys Annual Event took place in Chongqing. Nearly 200 youth representatives from countries including China, Sri Lanka, Algeria, Pakistan, and other countries gathered in the Mountain City to engage in cultural exchange and showcase the spirit of youth. Since its launch in February last year, the program has received over 2,000 submissions from 15 countries and regions, including China, North America, Western Europe, and those participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. It is steadily evolving into a sustainable and influential international platform for youth exchange.
"Let's Meet" airs every Wednesday and Saturday at 6 PM on Chongqing Satellite TV. It is also simultaneously released on the Let's Meet official WeChat Channels, Bridging News app, iChongqing website, Facebook and YouTube channels, WCICO's global communication matrix platform, and Chongqing Satellite TV's new media matrix.
