«Η ΑΓΑΠΗ ΣΤΟΝ ΔΡΟΜΟ ΤΟΥ ΜΕΤΑΞΙΟΥ»
ΕΝΑ ΕΝΤΥΠΩΣΙΑΚΟ ΚΙΝΕΖΙΚΟ ΧΟΡΟΔΡΑΜΑ ΕΡΧΕΤΑΙ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΘΗΝΑ

Ένα μεταξωτό κειμήλιο ηλικίας σχεδόν 2.000 ετών γίνεται η αφετηρία για μια ιστορία αγάπης, σύγκρουσης και συμφιλίωσης στον αρχαίο Δρόμο του Μεταξιού. Το κινεζικό χορόδραμα «Η Αγάπη στον Δρόμο του Μεταξιού» έρχεται στην Αθήνα από τις 13 έως τις 15 Νοεμβρίου 2026, στο Christmas Theater, για τέσσερις παραστάσεις, συνδυάζοντας χορό, μουσική, εντυπωσιακά κοστούμια και σύγχρονη σκηνική τεχνολογία.

Η παράσταση εμπνέεται από ένα πραγματικό αρχαιολογικό εύρημα: ένα μεταξωτό περιβραχιόνιο με την επιγραφή «Πέντε αστέρια ανατέλλουν στην Ανατολή, ευνοώντας την Κίνα», το οποίο ανακαλύφθηκε στην αρχαία πόλη Νίγια, στην περιοχή Χοτάν της Σιντζιάνγκ. Γύρω από αυτό το κειμήλιο ξεδιπλώνεται η ιστορία τριών νέων από διαφορετικούς κόσμους: ενός αξιωματικού της δυναστείας Χαν, ενός γιου νομαδικού αρχηγού και μιας κόρης ηγεμόνα. Μέσα από τις δοκιμασίες και τις περιπέτειές τους, η αντιπαλότητα μετατρέπεται σε εμπιστοσύνη, φιλία και αγάπη.

Χωρίς να βασίζεται στον προφορικό λόγο, η παραγωγή αξιοποιεί την εκφραστικότητα του κινεζικού χορού και τις παραδοσιακές αισθητικές αναφορές, αναδεικνύοντας τον Δρόμο του Μεταξιού ως σημείο συνάντησης διαφορετικών λαών και πολιτισμών.

Η παράσταση αποτελεί την εναρκτήρια παραγωγή του 4ου Σινο-Ελληνικού Διεθνούς Φεστιβάλ Θεάτρου, το οποίο από το 2023 φέρνει στο ελληνικό κοινό σύγχρονες κινεζικές καλλιτεχνικές παραγωγές. Στην παράσταση συμμετέχουν το Beijing Performance & Arts Group και το Beijing Song and Dance Troupe, συνεχίζοντας την πολιτιστική ανταλλαγή μεταξύ Ελλάδας και Κίνας.

ΕΚΘΕΣΗ «ΣΤΗΝ ΑΓΚΑΛΙΑ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΑΣΙΝΩΝ ΛΟΦΩΝ»: ΞΥΛΟ, ΤΟΥΒΛΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΤΡΑ ΑΦΗΓΟΥΝΤΑΙ ΤΗΝ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ ΤΟΥ HUIZHOU ΣΤΟ ΜΟΥΣΕΙΟ ΒΥΖΑΝΤΙΝΟΥ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟΥ

Σε συνεργασία με την PostScriptum, μέλος του Επιμελητηρίου μας

Η Κληρονομιά της Παραδοσιακής Αρχιτεκτονικής του Huizhou
14 Νοεμβρίου 2026 – 14 Φεβρουαρίου 2027 | Μουσείο Βυζαντινού Πολιτισμού, Θεσσαλονίκη

Δράκοι που φυλάνε εισόδους, πέτρινα λιοντάρια, περίτεχνα ξύλινα παράθυρα και ιστορίες χαραγμένες σε τούβλο. Από τις 14 Νοεμβρίου 2026 έως τις 14 Φεβρουαρίου 2027, το Μουσείο Βυζαντινού Πολιτισμού φιλοξενεί την έκθεση «Στην αγκαλιά των πράσινων λόφων – Η Κληρονομιά της Παραδοσιακής Αρχιτεκτονικής του Huizhou», προσκαλώντας το κοινό σε ένα ταξίδι στην τέχνη και την αρχιτεκτονική της παραδοσιακής Κίνας.

Η ιστορική περιοχή του Huizhou (Χουεϊτζού), στη σημερινή επαρχία Anhui της νοτιοανατολικής Κίνας, υπήρξε για αιώνες κέντρο εμπορίου και πολιτισμού. Κατά τις δυναστείες Ming (1368–1644) και Qing (1644–1911), αναπτύχθηκε μια ξεχωριστή αρχιτεκτονική παράδοση, με κατοικίες, οικογενειακούς ναούς και πύλες διακοσμημένες με γλυπτά που αποτύπωναν τις αξίες και τις πεποιθήσεις της εποχής.

Στην καρδιά της έκθεσης βρίσκεται η τέχνη των «Τριών Σκαλισμάτων», άυλη πολιτιστική κληρονομιά της Κίνας: ξυλογλυπτική με παραστάσεις ανθρώπων, ζώων και σκηνών από τη λογοτεχνία και το θέατρο, γλυπτική σε τούβλο με ιστορίες της λαϊκής παράδοσης και λιθογλυπτική με δράκους, λιοντάρια και μυθικά πλάσματα. Τα εκθέματα περιλαμβάνουν επίσης ξυλόγλυπτα της δυναστείας Qing, παράθυρα της δυναστείας Ming και ανάγλυφες παραστάσεις παραδοσιακών κήπων.

Τα έργα συμβολίζουν ευημερία, αρμονία, μακροζωία και ευτυχία. Οι οικισμοί του Huizhou, μέσα στους καταπράσινους λόφους, αναδεικνύουν τη σύνδεση ανθρώπου και φύσης, καθώς και τη σημασία της παραδοσιακής τεχνογνωσίας και της προστασίας της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς.

Η έκθεση στη Θεσσαλονίκη αποτελεί ευκαιρία πολιτιστικού διαλόγου μεταξύ Ελλάδας και Κίνας, αναδεικνύοντας πώς η αρχιτεκτονική εκφράζει την ταυτότητα μιας κοινωνίας και πως η τέχνη μετατρέπει την καθημερινή ζωή σε πολιτιστική μνήμη.

ALARMING!!!
CHINA RESPONDS TO POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF EU TRADE RESTRICTIONS TO ADDITIONAL SECTORS

China has stated that it will take all necessary measures to protect its legitimate trade interests if the European Union introduces what it considers discriminatory restrictions on Chinese products. The statement was made by a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce following reports that the EU is considering extending its trade measures beyond electric vehicles to additional sectors, including chemicals and machinery.

The Chinese ministry warned that expanding restrictions could affect normal trade, increase costs for European downstream industries and put further pressure on supply chains. It also stressed that trade differences should be addressed through dialogue and consultation rather than protectionist measures.

The remarks follow the second meeting of the China–EU trade and investment consultation mechanism, held in Beijing on October 8–9, where the two sides reached understandings on several issues, including hybrid vehicle trade, export controls, intellectual property rights and market access. The discussions highlight the importance of continued engagement between China and the EU in maintaining stable trade relations and supporting cooperation across their interconnected industries.

NOVEMBER 1ST..EU RAISES CHARGES FOR CHINESE PLATFORMS IMPORTS

The European Union’s new charges on low-value e-commerce parcels could generate around €6 billion annually for the EU budget between 2028 and 2034, according to a European Commission document reported by Reuters on October 30. The measures affect cross-border online retail, including Chinese platforms such as Shein, Temu and AliExpress, as European authorities revise customs rules in response to the rapid growth of low-cost imports.

Chinese e-commerce companies are already adapting their operations to the changing environment. Alibaba-owned AliExpress is expanding its local warehousing capacity in Europe, while Shein is increasing warehouse space in Poland and seeking to maintain competitive prices and convenient delivery. Temu has also offered some customers discounts to offset the additional charges. The developments highlight the growing importance of European distribution networks and logistics strategies as international e-commerce companies adjust to the EU’s evolving customs framework.

The EU introduced a €3 customs charge on low-value e-commerce parcels in July, followed by an additional €2 fee that took effect on November 1. The measures come amid a sharp increase in small shipments entering the bloc: approximately 5.8 billion parcels valued below €150 arrived in the EU in 2025, a 26% rise compared with the previous year.

UNITREE ROBOTICS REPORTS STRONG REVENUE GROWTH, GREAT WALL MOTOR PLANS VEHICLE ASSEMBLY IN BULGARIA, CHINA EXPANDS FOREIGN BUSINESS ACCESS IN HAINAN, HERE…

Chinese robotics manufacturer Unitree Robotics reported a nearly 70% increase in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, in its first financial report since listing on Shanghai’s STAR Market in August. However, net profit for the quarter declined as the company increased investment in research and development, particularly in AI and robotics technologies.
During the first nine months of the year, Unitree’s revenue grew by around 56% to approximately €245 million. Although reported net profit also increased significantly over this period, the rise was partly influenced by a one-off expense recorded in the previous year, while profit excluding such items declined. The results highlight both the growing commercial demand for robotics and the investment required to advance the technology.

China’s Great Wall Motor (GWM) plans to begin assembling its Ora 5 electric SUV in Bulgaria in the first quarter of 2027, establishing its first vehicle manufacturing base in Europe. The project will be carried out with local partner Bulgaria Automotive Industry at a plant near Lovech, with a planned annual capacity of up to 50,000 vehicles.
Production will initially involve the assembly of partially completed vehicle kits, with some components sourced locally. The company plans to expand its European operations over time, combining local manufacturing with its existing research and development centre in Munich. The move reflects the growing presence of Chinese automakers in Europe and their efforts to develop closer links with local suppliers and manufacturing partners.

China has introduced 16 new measures to facilitate foreign business activity in the Hainan Free Trade Port, covering areas such as energy trade, medical services, logistics and bonded operations. The measures include allowing qualified foreign-licensed doctors to provide medical services in Hainan for up to three years, alongside more convenient work-permit and residency procedures for foreign professionals.
The new policies will also give overseas companies access to bonded facilities at Hainan’s liquefied natural gas terminals and expand opportunities in maintenance, remanufacturing and cross-border trade. The initiative forms part of China’s broader efforts to develop Hainan as an international trade and investment hub and further expand access for foreign businesses.
