CCTV9英语新闻：Xi's visit to boost bilateral & regional relations

We are joined in the studio again by Mr. Cui Hongjian, a researcher of European studies at the China Institute of International Studies.

 

Q1. President Xi's visit to the Czech Republic opens up a new chapter in bilateral relations. But looking from an Asian perspective, Mr. Cui, to what extent will it boost connectivity between Asia and Europe?
