When traditional dances cross borders, cultures harmonize in steps and rhythms.
This week, as Chinese President Xi Jinping embarks on state visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia, a unique cultural exchange is taking center stage. \”Asian Beats,\” a live-streamed event, brings together dancers from China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia in a vibrant celebration of unity and heritage.
From the swirling silks of China’s Jiaozhou Yangge to the graceful lotus rhythms of Vietnam, the energetic claps of Malaysia’s Zapin, and the elegant gestures of Cambodia’s Apsara, the event showcases the rich tapestry of Asian dance traditions. It’s not just a performance but a dance across time zones and borders, highlighting the shared cultural soul of Asia.
The \”Asian Beats\” livestream, hosted by CGTN, aims to connect young audiences across the Global South through music and movement. By merging traditional dance forms with modern technology, the event symbolizes a harmonious blend of the past and the present.
\”Dance is a universal language,\” said Lin Wei, one of the Chinese dancers participating in the event. \”Through ‘Asian Beats,’ we’re showing how our diverse cultures can come together to create something beautiful.\”
As diplomacy unfolds on the political stage, \”Asian Beats\” offers a reminder of the people-to-people connections that underpin international relations. For the youth in these countries, it’s an opportunity to appreciate their neighbors’ cultures and foster mutual understanding.
