Transcript

00:00Thank you for joining us.

00:30It's very impressive and it's very, very characteristic, it's heritage from China's

00:38people.

00:39It's a very, very beautiful sight, a lot of history, something I didn't know, I'm

00:48very excited to have visited the eighth wonder of the world.

00:51It's full of history here and basically each and every part of this exhibition tells a

00:59story.

01:00Our stories have been told by other people and that perspective has not been the best

01:19perspective.

01:20So this is a real opportunity for us to tell our stories and to tell them perfectly because

01:26the wearer of the shoe knows where it pinches the most.

01:33There's an opportunity to collaborate around content sharing.

01:37There's also platform convergence.

01:39So that means those with a huge muscle in terms of global reach like CGTN and its sister

01:46company CCTV plus news network will be able to give a platform to other nations with, so

02:01to speak, smaller voices.

02:02For instance, in Africa content producers can be able to piggyback on CCTV plus and CGTN

02:12and amplify their voices across the world.

02:15So we believe that the mechanism is a positive development and it is going to be highly beneficial

02:20going forward to all developing nations.
