Erik Nilsson, an American journalist with China Daily and the winner of the Chinese Government Friendship Award, shared his recent experience in Beijing E-Town, where he danced, shot baskets, and even practiced sanda strikes alongside robots. He expressed that he discovered a brand-new Beijing — one that is not just moving toward the future, but has already arrived in it. Being an entrepreneur in this city and in this era is, as he described, profoundly inspiring. Beijing is uniquely open and inclusive, offering young people a wealth of advantages and conveniences, ranging from entrepreneurship incubators to the 12345 citizen service hotline.
