R\u00e9mon Chen, Canada Solo Media Inc. CEO, pointed out that short-form video has revolutionized media dynamics by allowing anyone to become a content creator \u2014 anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n

“New media has shattered the time-space constraints of traditional journalism,” he said.<\/p>\n

Chen stressed that algorithm-driven distribution is the new battleground. The more high-quality and niche the content, the more exposure it receives. He urged overseas Chinese media to better understand platform mechanics and data analytics, and to leverage AI tools to tell China’s story in more effective, layered, and emotionally resonant ways.<\/p>\n

“We must give the world a fuller, more authentic, and lovable image of China,” he remarked.<\/p>\n

He underscored the importance of experiential communication in shaping long-term impressions and called for media-industry integration to drive sustainable storytelling.<\/p>\n

“News alone isn’t enough. We need to combine media with industry to create lasting cultural impact,” Zhou said.<\/p>\n
