As the Engineering Consulting and Construction Services thematic exhibition serves as one of the standout features of the ongoing 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, exhibitors are presenting a diverse array of solutions powered by advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and AI-enabled systems.
The five-day event, which is scheduled to be concluded on Sunday, has attracted participants from 90 countries, regions, and international organizations, showcasing over 1,800 companies and their innovative service products.
A particularly notable display features a building space model system that utilizes virtual reality technology, enabling precise synchronization of 3D digital models with physical structures. This innovation significantly enhances construction inspection efficiency and improves communication within project management teams.
"[This not only improves] the working environment for workers but also ensures their safety. Our digital function leverages AI to identify lifting materials, such as rebar, channel steel, and steel pipes, while conducting efficiency analysis to assist in lifting management," said Lu Jingxuan, an exhibitor.
At the international achievement exhibition and promotion zone, a number of segmented industries and services independently developed by Chinese enterprises, such as surveying and mapping geographic information services and modular assembly, are showcased together.
Zhu Jin, another exhibitor, highlighted the advantages of their single-Beidou high-precision surveying equipment.
"We have used our independently developed single-Beidou high-precision surveying equipment in numerous overseas projects, particularly in those with high measurement accuracy requirements, where it offers significant advantages. It features a more stable signal and higher measurement precision. It is now a mass-produced domestic product and can also be exported as a standalone service to provide corresponding services to overseas clients," said Zhu.

Among the Iranians injured in U.S. airstrikes since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, teenagers in the prime of their youth, passionate about sports and music, have suffered severe physical injuries from missile fragments and projectiles, forever changing what should have been their beautiful lives.
According to the Iranian government, on Feb 28, the U.S. military used new-type precision-strike missiles in combat for the first time, attacking several residential areas and civilian facilities, including a city gymnasium, in the southern city of Lamerd, killing more than 20 people and injuring over 100.
A reporter from the China Media Group (CMG) visited Lamerd on Saturday to survey the sites hit by U.S. missiles, in what marked the first time Iran has permitted foreign journalists to film such sites since the outbreak of the war.
At the center of the explosion, the road surface and the walls of many buildings bore marks of projectile impacts.
Missile fragments and projectiles also injured residents, including teenagers. One of them is 12-year-old Amir. The explosion severely damaged the bones and nerves in his right leg. Although he has undergone multiple surgeries, projectile fragments remain embedded in his body.
"We are innocent. They (the U.S.) should not attack us. We have nothing to do with the United States and pose no threat to it. We were outside playing football, and the girls were inside playing volleyball," Amir said.
"What I should have been worried about was my child's academic progress at school, or the football lessons he was interested in. But now things have come to this: I have to bandage the wound on my hand with sterile gauze in the hospital for fear that my child might get infected and end up having his leg amputated," said Javad, Amir's father.
Vahideh, a 13-year-old girl, suffered the same fate. A lively girl with a passion for music, she was struck by missile fragments in her head and neck. She now struggles to speak for extended periods, and her right hand still cannot move.
"I don't remember it very clearly. I was sitting outside holding my bag when the explosion knocked me down. I saw the bone exposed on my hand, and my hand was bleeding heavily. My friends were there too, and my teacher was also bleeding. I fainted when I saw the ambulance," Vahideh said.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said at a press conference in Lamerd on Saturday that U.S. acts of aggression against civilians constitute war crimes and a blatant violation of international law. Iran has obtained relevant technical and legal evidence and will hold the United States accountable for its crimes in the international community.
But the war continues. According to Iranian sources on Saturday, two loud explosions were heard in the direction of Qeshm Island in southern Iran.
