🎙️ Liu Cixin on Overseas Success

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Liu attributed the global success to:

2. Science fiction as a "universal language" with inherent cross-cultural appeal

3. Outstanding translation teams (especially Ken Liu)

4. Chinese sci-fi's "unique Eastern philosophical perspective"

🔮 The Next Decade

With Netflix S2/S3 in production and more language editions on the way, the *Three-Body* IP's global influence continues to grow rapidly. Three-Body Universe CEO Zhao Jilong previously stated the goal: to build a global IP operation on the scale of Harry Potter.
