A report from Science and Technology Daily | IUSTC:

Sponsored by China International Publishing Group, Malaysia-China Friendship

Association and Science and Technology Daily, and organized by China Report

Press, the "Technology Empowering the Future: China-Malaysia Think Tank and

Media Cooperation Forum" was held on January 15, 2021.

Representatives from Chinese and Malaysian media, think tanks and sci-tech

enterprises conducted in-depth discussions on "Empowering the Future through

Technology—New Prospects for Digital Cooperation between Think Media in the 5G

Era".

Chen Shi, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of CIPG and President of China Report

Press, indicated that the "fourth industrial revolution" represented by 5G and

other digital technologies had provided a new approach to resolving and

responding to global development issues and challenges. Currently, sci-tech

cooperation has been an international trend. In face of complicated and

changeable forms of international communication, the digital collaboration

between Chinese and Malaysian think tanks and media possesses broad prospects.

Both parties should actively integrate into the global innovation network and

promote scientific and technological development through open cooperation.

"Technology, which is the theme of our deliberation today, is another emerging

sector of our bilateral cooperation and this includes the cooperation on

5G...Our two countries have extended cooperation, support and assistance to

each other to mitigate the effects of this pandemic," said Dato' Abdul Majid

Ahmad Khan, President of Malaysia-China Friendship Association. He expressed

that under the influence of the epidemic, Malaysia is accelerating emerging

technologies in the industry and advancing its national digital strategy. "It

is said that digital transformation is like a machine with data as its fuel and

5G as its digital fabric...5G will change the landscape of media and

entertainment in the next decade." In his view, China's experience in the

application of advanced new technologies such as short video, live streaming

sales, online games, and other forms of entertainment tactics have yielded

great results during the crisis. These experiences have also made important

reference value to Malaysia. He expected the media and think tanks of China and

Malaysia to strengthen digital cooperation in the 5G era.

Fang Hanting, Vice President of Science and Technology Daily, expressed his

views on the forum. He claimed that it is of great significance for China and

Malaysia to discuss the prospects of smart media digital cooperation in the 5G

era. 5G is an epoch-making information transmission and connection technology,

which has affected the development of the entire media industry, especially the

intellectualized media industry. In the era of intellectualized media, 5G

technology will accelerate the data-driven, intelligent connection and think

tank of media, promote the construction of scene-oriented immersion,

pan-centralization and ecological construction of media, provide a powerful

supporting force for the innovation and development of the media industry, and

enhance the reconstruction of everything as a medium in many aspects. China and

Malaysia should seize the opportunity and jointly explore new prospects for

think tank media cooperation.

During the forum discussion, representatives from several media and enterprises

conducted discussions on three topics: "Application of Digital Technology in

the Field of International Communication", "Media Development Trends in the 5G

Era" and "Media Think Tanks Promoting China-Malaysia Technical Cooperation".

After discussion, it is widely thought that digital technologies such as 5G are

reconstructing the industrial structure of science and Technology and leading

media industry changes. Media, think tanks, and technology enterprises of China

and Malaysia should seize opportunities for cooperation, strengthen cooperation

and exchanges, promote the construction of digital information platforms and

the cooperation of digital information, and enhance media integration to expand

media influences, thus bringing practical collaboration between the two

countries.
