HONG KONG, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- China Mobile International Limited (CMI) successfully held "AI+ Intelligent Computility Collaboration Launch" in Hong Kong, China on August 6, 2025, with a concurrent branch venue in Guangdong, China. Centered on the theme "Computility Fuels Tomorrow, Forging Innovation in Hong Kong", the event highlighted three upgrades in intelligent network capacity enhancement, application integration, and computing ecosystem collaboration. Key releases included the latest submarine cable, the Southeast Asia–Japan Cable 2 (SJC2), and AI+ Smart Finance Solution, alongside CMI's partnership with Hong Kong Cyberport to advance Hong Kong's AI industry development and support the city as an international hub for technological innovation. Attendees included Mr. Wang Limin, Executive Director of China Mobile Limited, Ms. Cheong Man-lei, Lillian, JP, Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau of the Government of the HKSAR, and Mr. Mu Chenhong, Deputy Director of the Information Center, Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR. Over 100 representatives and experts from the political, academic and business sectors attended the event, jointly witnessing this important milestone.
SJC2, led by CMI and its partners, was officially activated on July 16, 2025. Spanning 10,500 kilometers, SJC2 is designed with a capacity of 126 Tbps. It establishes Hong Kong as one of the key nodes, extending the coverage to other key Asia-Pacific countries and regions. Utilizing the latest optical wavelength division multiplexing technology, SJC2 delivers ultra-low latency across key nodes in Asia-Pacific, reinforcing Hong Kong's status as a global digital hub.
China Mobile has deployed China's first commercial use of Hollow-Core Optical Fiber, building the Shenzhen-Hong Kong low-latency express. With the latency less than 1 millisecond, it achieves the best in the industry. Leveraging this low-latency express, the AI+ Smart Finance Solution integrates Large Language Models (LLM), intelligent algorithms and edge computing power. It enables financial institutions to create innovative scenarios such as intelligent risk control, real-time transactions and intelligent customer service, driving smarter, and more efficient financial services.
In advancing AI ecosystem collaboration, CMI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hong Kong Cyberport to jointly build an AI ecosystem, facilitating the entry of Chinese enterprises into Hong Kong and supporting Hong Kong tech companies in their global expansion.
China Mobile is committed to developing Hong Kong into a global hub for information convergence, application aggregation, and ecosystem integration. The three key achievements have laid a solid foundation for Hong Kong's AI development, enriched AI application innovations, and aggregated cross-border AI ecosystems, enabling the expansion from a Chinese ecosystem to a global one. China Mobile has put forward three initiatives: jointly building AI+ infrastructure, collaborating to explore AI+ industry applications, and working together to establish AI+ ecosystem cooperation.
Ms. Cheong Man-lei, Lillian, JP, Under Secretary for the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau of the Government of the HKSAR, stated that the Government has placed AI as a key industry. The SJC2, the AI+ Smart Finance Solution and the global AI computing network with collaboration between CMI and Cyberport are highly consistent with the artificial intelligence strategies of the country and Hong Kong. They will help Mainland enterprises to establish in Hong Kong and local enterprises to expand in the international market. Ms. Cheong expressed hope that CMI continuously promotes the projects, and all sectors join hands to develop Hong Kong to become a source of new AI technologies and a demonstration base for application.
Ms. Georgina Chu, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Hong Kong Cyberport, stated that this collaboration with CMI marks an important step in the development of Hong Kong's technology innovation ecosystem. Both parties will leverage their respective strengths in artificial intelligence, including the computing power of Cyberport's AI Supercomputing Centre, to jointly promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading. She also anticipates creating more opportunities for Hong Kong's start-ups and industry partners through resource synergy, aiming to position Hong Kong as a win-win hub along the Digital Silk Road.
China Mobile will continue to empower Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to build an international intelligent computing centre, a fintech highland, and an AI innovation center, unleashing the integrated momentum of intelligent computility, finance, and AI. It will support to build Hong Kong as international hub for technological innovation, and a pivotal gateway for the Belt and Road Initiative, injecting robust impetus into the growth of new productive forces.

Computility Fuels Tomorrow, Forging Innovation in Hong Kong | CMI Successfully Held AI+ Intelligent Computility Collaboration Launch
The Initiative Aims to Address the Pain Points of Family Filmmaking
BEIJING, Dec. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 6th, the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival opened in Beijing. SmallRig, a global specialized provider of imaging solutions, collaborating with FamilyLens, is empowering family filmmaking through various initiatives, including the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative, a dedicated family filmmaking kit, and a social impact screening program.
Deepening the "Co-Creation Initiatives"
The Co-Creation Initiatives are a series of global creative initiatives open to filmmakers and image creators worldwide. Through deep collaboration across multiple dimensions — including product co-creation, discovery and promotion, and content co-creation — SmallRig aims to expand the boundaries of mobile filmmaking and bring the spirit of Free Your Dream to life with creators everywhere.
Following the launch of the Mobile Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative at the 14th International Smartphone Film Festival, SmallRig announced the launch of the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative on December 6th at the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival. The initiative invites global creators and every family to participate, focusing on three core directions: product co-creation, work promotion, and content co-creation, to explore the possibilities of family filmmaking for everyone.
Mr. Zhou Yang, Founder and CEO of SmallRig, shared the inspiration for the initiative: "The initiative is rooted in the immense universality and profound emotional depth inherent in family narratives, which serve as a common emotional bond connecting global audiences. We firmly believe that in this era, where everyone can be a content creator, every family can and should film their own story. The instinct to create is deeply embedded in the human spirit, and every home is the origin of countless narratives."
Gu Xue, Founder and Director of the FamilyLens International Film Festival, stated: "We hope that people and practitioners around the world who care about family movies can find suitable solutions and gain insights from the Co-Creation Initiatives. We look forward to more and more people exploring the field of 'Home' together through this initiative."
To address the pain points of family filmmaking, SmallRig officially released the SmallRig Family Filmmaking Kit at the opening ceremony. The kit includes a high-quality microphone, fill light, and a portable tripod, specifically designed to achieve "professional function democratization" and "complex feature simplification." During the FamilyLens Workshop, attendees experienced the convenience of the equipment firsthand. Many expressed that the kit truly solves many problems, enabling ordinary families to complete necessary filming without specialized photography knowledge.
Social Impact Screening Program
The 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival is open to the public from December 6th to 14th. The festival opened with the screening of well-received documentary: K-Family Affairs. In addition to the competition section, the festival features several distinctive sections, including the Reframing Home Movies— An Italian Retrospective, Youth Film Program, Filmmaker in Focus, and the Social Impact Program. Four major awards, such as the Real-Life Portrait Award and the Artistic Exploration Award, will also be presented.
As a key component of the Co-Creation Initiatives, the SmallRig Image Development Fund partnered with the FamilyLens International Film Festival to curate the "Social Impact Screening Program." This unit focuses on elevating awareness of critical issues within the family unit, advocating for a new reflection: "Starting with Seeing, Concluding with Understanding."
Arum Nam, Director of K-Family Affairs, stated:
"Starting with the stories of your family, your friends, and yourself, I believe this personal narrative can connect directly to the bigger society."
SmallRig believes that truly meaningful social impact storytelling stems from awareness in proximity—achieved by using the lens to penetrate the daily surface and enabling a deep, empathetic "Seeing with Empathy."
The four featured works in this unit are:
- People of the Ascent
- Granny's Lost and Found
- Ruixi at Fourteen
- No Country For My Maternal Grandma
These films highlight four family issues that require "seeing": the yearning of left-behind children, the mental isolation of Alzheimer's patients, the elderly searching for subjectivity in their drifting lives, and the emotional volatility and struggle of Bipolar Disorder.
Strategic Outlook and Future Expansion
SmallRig will continue to support the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative's deep development through promotional campaigns and practical workshops focused on family movie scenarios.
The overall goal of SmallRig's Global Co-creation Initiative is to continuously explore and meet the growing, diverse needs of global creators across different vertical domains. SmallRig is committed to persistently expanding the co-creation model into more imaging sectors, collaborating with industry partners to push the boundaries of imaging and grant global creators broader creative freedom.
