BEIJING, April 12, 2025 — A CGTN documentary, “Golden Threads,” highlights China’s contribution to the advancement of Asian nations. Through three distinct narratives, it vividly illustrates China’s collaborative efforts with its neighbors in building a shared future.
The documentary presents three inspiring stories of individuals and countries in Asia working together to preserve the continent’s diverse natural environment and cultural legacy. In Malaysia, a technology-driven green energy transition is quietly revolutionizing the landscape. With the help of advanced Chinese technology and expertise, an increasing number of Malaysians from all backgrounds are harnessing solar power. These initiatives are simultaneously reducing costs and safeguarding the country’s stunning natural environment. In Vietnam, joint conservation efforts between China and Vietnam are ensuring the survival of the Eastern Black Crested Gibbons for future generations. Presumed extinct decades ago, a small population was rediscovered in the dense jungles along the Sino-Vietnam border. Their numbers are now increasing thanks to technology and a dedication to wildlife conservation. Many participants in these initiatives have found profound personal enrichment through their involvement in protecting this natural treasure. In Cambodia, the magnificent culture and architecture of the ancient Khmer civilization are being preserved through collaboration between Cambodian and Chinese experts. The ancient carvings at Angkor Wat are now safe, serving as a constant reminder of Cambodia’s cultural identity and confidence. Across Asia, people are discovering renewed strength in preservation projects that connect them to their heritage, while also strengthening bonds between nations and cultures.
The documentary’s title, “Golden Threads,” symbolizes the belief that connections act as vital links, fostering closer relationships between people and nations in a community that promotes shared progress and prosperity. When people and nations unite with a common vision for the future, anything is achievable.
