Luciano Tanto Clement, the consul general of Argentina in Shanghai, spoke about the connection between Argentinian and Chinese cuisine.

"Argentine and Chinese cuisine share a common understanding of food and gastronomy as a social experience," he said, adding that both cultures view food as a point of gathering for family and friends. He further noted the rising popularity of Chinese cuisine in Argentina, with The Gourmet of Shanghai, a restaurant run by the son of Chinese migrants, becoming a local favorite.
