China Media Group (CMG) and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) signed a cooperation framework agreement on Friday to jointly produce a new flagship program that delivers in-depth insights into China's industrial culture to the rest of the world.
This collaboration expands upon the domestic success of the CMG's 2025 TV program "Crafted in China" -- a television program presenting the evolution of Chinese craftsmanship from ancient ingenuity to today's smart manufacturing aired from July 27, 2025.
Based on the Kaogongji (The Book of Diverse Crafts), the earliest known Chinese text on science and technology, the new TV program traces the cultural foundations of contemporary industrial innovation and China's new quality productive forces.
It has already accumulated billions of views online. The producers have planned to extend its reach through additional seasons and published works.
At a joint seminar held in Beijing on Friday, officials from the CMG and the MIIT revealed that multilingual international versions of the new program are in development to share China's industrial story more effectively with global audiences.
