On International Children's Day in 2023, Alifa Chin received a letter from China's President Xi Jinping, wishing her success and suggesting she study medicine in China.
Xi's charm offensive aims to strengthen ties between China and Bangladesh, emphasizing their longstanding relationship as "good neighbors and good partners.‟
Bangladesh is strategically important for China due to its location in the Indian Ocean, crucial for the Belt and Road Initiative to enhance China's influence.
Despite opportunities, China faces competitive disadvantages with Bangladesh's shared borders with Myanmar and India, both presenting complex regional challenges.
