CMG's cutting-edge technologies highlighted at Digital Trade Expo

Cutting-edge technologies developed by China Media Group (CMG) are drawing strong attention at the ongoing fifth Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province.

The expo, dedicated to promoting digital trade and industrial cooperation, runs from Sept 23 to 27.

This year, CMG's 360-square-meter themed booth -- showcasing advanced digital audiovisual technologies and a wide range of content -- becomes a major draw at the expo.

At the booth, an extended-reality interactive experience project, "Explore China's Space Station" created by CMG's technical bureau, has attracted many visitors eager to experience.

Using virtual reality technology, the project recreates the real on-orbit experience of astronauts aboard China's space station to life, offering visitors a truly immersive glimpse into life in space.

"It's truly stunning -- it feels just like you are actually living in that environment, a truly immersive experience," said Zhang Shuohan, a visitor.

CMG is also showcasing a range of achievements enabled by its proprietary core technologies, including AI, ultra-high definition (UHD) technologies, and omni-media mobile broadcasting. In particular, the Central Audiovisual Media 3.0, the lite omni-media UHD Intelligent Service Platform, and various innovative AI applications have attracted strong interest from many overseas visitors.

"I think it's amazing. There are a lot of different things I've never seen in my life in Spain. I think I am in a new world. I feel the two [human and AI] can work together, and do better production, do (it) easier," said a Spanish visitor.

"We have received a huge number of potential customers -- professionals from various countries have visited our booth to learn in detail about our AI, omni-media and UHD products. And they are interested in further exchanges and cooperation with us," said Li Huan, an engineer at the CMG technical bureau.

The UN Security Council held a meeting on refugee issues on Friday, where a Chinese envoy called on the international community to respond to the growing crisis with unity and cooperation.

Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, noted that regional conflicts continue to drag on and recur, while humanitarian crises are erupting in multiple locations. He urged the international community to embrace the humanitarian spirit and work together to tackle refugee challenges.

Sun emphasized that the Security Council must live up to its primary responsibility of safeguarding international peace and security. He called on the Council to stick to the principle of resolving disputes peacefully and press the parties to conflicts to renounce violence and achieve lasting ceasefires as soon as possible.

The Chinese envoy also highlighted development as the key pillar and fundamental solution to refugee issues. He said the international community - developed countries in particular - should step up development assistance to help affected countries rebuild their economies and make improvements in employment, education and infrastructure. Such efforts, he noted, would strengthen these countries' capacity to cope with risks and lay the groundwork for durable solutions to the plight of refugees and displaced persons.
