The pivotal role of 5G in communication

Editor-in-chief of S&T Daily, Xu Zhilong said that the construction of 5G

ecology has reached a golden opportunity. With the empowerment of 5G

technology, the structure and ability of media to collect and spread

information have changed accordingly, thus strong international communication

strength is needed to make China's voice heard.

Director of China Society of Science and Technology System Reform, Zhang Jingan

said, "China's development needs the world, and the world needs China. It is

crucial to let the world know about China through the media. It is of great

significance to build the friendship circle among Belt and Road Initiative

through the media. 5G technology should be used to enable more foreign friends

to understand and support China, so as to become an inevitable force for world

peace and development."

Deputy editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily, Zhao Jianguo said, "5G has brought

new opportunities for change of the mainstream media. Artificial intelligence,

blockchain, big data and other cutting-edge technologies created 'a modern

communication network on a whole new level' for production and transmission of

news. Ultra HD, 5G livestreaming and VR will lead to greater innovation in

transmission, and constantly improve the influence of mainstream media.

Empowered by technologies, the news chain will be infinitely expanded with

media convergence. These are all enabling tools for international

communication."

Deputy editor-in-chief of China Daily, Sun Shangwu also shared his opinion,

saying, "As a media person, firstly we will focus on mobile communication and

enhance immediacy, enabling exchanges between China and the rest of the world

to spread faster and further. Secondly, we need to make our exchanges more

social and interactive to make them more approachable and accessible. Thirdly,

we should focus on visualization and make it more vivid so as to make

China-foreign exchanges more active."

New requirements for international communication in 5G era

Dean of Academy of contemporary China and World studies, Yu Yunquan said, "The

5G era has put forward new requirements for international media communication.

Firstly is to deepen the thinking of Internet of Things and strengthen the

exploration and application of new platforms. Secondly, further improve the

"precision" of information services, especially the planning ability. Thirdly,

Accelerate the depth of integration with the technology industry, better meet

the needs of the audience."

Targeted communication of all-media, cross culture and multiple languages will

become the new trend in the information age.

Vasily Pushkov, director of International Cooperation, Sputnik News Agency and

Radio, said, "The COVID-19 pandemic showed the crucial role, which new

technologies play in international communications and information exchange.

Online formats of interaction are developing rapidly; virtual international

events bring together thousands of participants from all over the world, and

bilateral online meetings with partners have become something common."

Zhao Sha, China Media Development Director of PR Newswire said, "People who

work in the media industry are paying closer attention to data from the

audience. The increase of the number of views, shares, likes and videos played

directly affects the entire industry."

5G empowers the media industry of the future

Emilio Saldaña, head of science and technology for TV channel 22 in Mexico

said, "The fast transmission and ultra-low latency of 5G technology will

revolutionize the digital media industry, particularly in two aspects: how news

is collected and how it is delivered. 5G technology can help our journalists

improve their ability to capture breaking news and produce media products in a

short period of time. With the popularization of 5G technology, we will

continue to optimize the delivery and experience of news in the digital era."
