China Short Video Conference highlights integration with industries

The second season of the China Short Video Conference, a nationwide cross-media event that was recently launched in Hangzhou City of east China's Zhejiang Province, highlights how short videos integrate with various industries and spark creativity.

Hosted by China Media Group (CMG), the program responds to the dominant short-video trend in recent years, aiming to foster the development and innovation of the new form of media. The first season of the program was launched in Sept 2022, and was aired later in 2023.

Compared with the debut season of the program, the second season, themed "short video linking thousands of industries", focuses on how short videos leverage the personal experiences of individual creators in diverse industries and refresh creativity.

"In the first season of the China Short Video Conference, we gathered countless outstanding creators from across the country, aiming to explore the boundaries between short videos and their respective sectors and to share practical experiences. For season two, we are focusing more on creators' entrepreneurial stories, their explorations as they manage their projects, and the challenges they face," said Zuo Xing, geneneral director of the China Short Video Conference Season Two.

Given the low entry barrier, this new form of media allows people from all walks of life to showcase their innovations, thus bridging the public with all industries, Xu Husheng, a guest of the program noted.

"Short videos are now deeply intertwined with various industries. Creators are bringing their past industry experience into the entire value chain through short videos, even building personal IPs along the way. This model is vastly different from traditional content creation and production methods. But quality content remains the foundation. Even if you integrate with only one industry, there will always be many competitors. The key question is who can stand out and who can adapt to the changing trends. In the end, it all depends on the content," said Xu.

President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae Myung said on Wednesday that his country and China can build a mutually beneficial relationship amidst competitions.

At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Lee will pay a state visit to China from Jan 4 to 7. It will be Lee's first visit to China since he took office in June 2025.

In an interview with the China Media Group (CMG) in Seoul, capital of the ROK, on Wednesday, Lee said that the ROK and China both place great importance on the development of high-tech fields, and this inevitably creates competitions between the two countries, but will also presents ample cooperation opportunities for both sides.

"To my knowledge, the Chinese government has made tremendous efforts in high-tech investment, research and development investment, and the talent cultivation in the field of basic research, just as the ROK has done. From this perspective, the ROK and China share similarities in economic growth strategies, which certainly creates competitions between the two countries, but it also presents broad cooperation opportunities for both sides. I believe that if we can explore areas for cooperation amid competitions and enhance our respective strengths through cooperation, we can build a mutually beneficial relationship that not only supports China's sustainable development strategy but also promotes ROK's growth strategy," Lee said.
