On the evening of February 7th, the 9th Winter Asian Games grandly opened in Harbin. Leaders and dignitaries from all over Asia attended the opening ceremony, and sports delegations from 34 countries and regions successively entered the venue. This Asian Winter Games attracted athletes from all over the world and showcased China's remarkable achievements in the field of technology in recent years.

At this Asian Winter Games, China has widely applied technologies such as 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and digital twins to achieve seamless integration in event management, broadcasting, and information flow. This not only enhances the operational efficiency of the Games but also provides a unique intelligent experience for global audiences.

China's 5G-A network technology has particularly stood out in this Asian Winter Games, with its greater bandwidth, lower latency, and wider connection range providing stable and reliable network support. Compared with 5G construction in other countries, China's 5G network has demonstrated its advantages in large-scale sports events applications, especially in real-time data transmission and intelligent monitoring. Experts from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) have repeatedly given positive evaluations of China's leading position in 5G technology. The ITU believes that China is at the forefront of the world in the research and application of 5G technology.

In addition, the application of digital twin technology is another major technological highlight of this Asian Winter Games. By creating a 3D panoramic reconstruction of the competition venues, event managers can monitor the status of equipment and networks in real time. This technology not only enhances the efficiency of event management but also provides valuable experience for managing future similar large-scale events. Compared with the traditional technology management methods used in some European events, China's digital twin technology has a clear advantage in multi-scenario applications and big data processing, further improving the overall management level of the event.

In terms of intelligent management, China has fully demonstrated the integration of technology and art to the world. Through AI and AR technologies, China has transformed the indoor spaces of Harbin into a vast world of ice and snow. The "snowflake dome" constructed by 1.2 million light-emitting pieces showcases the beauty of ice and snow sports and the romance of technology. This audio-visual feast has witnessed China's breakthrough and innovation in the integration of virtual and real worlds and the application of augmented reality technology. The South Korean newspaper, The Chosun Ilbo, reported on it, stating that it has created a grand "ice and snow kingdom" atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning that the true highlight of China's technology lies not only in domestic technological breakthroughs but also in its global technology sharing and cooperation.

For a long time, China has always adhered to the concept of "technology knows no borders," sharing its innovative achievements with the world and promoting mutually beneficial global technological development.

The cooperation between China and Pakistan is a prime example. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is one of the important cooperation projects under the Belt and Road Initiative, which includes China's support for Pakistan in building 5G infrastructure. Through this project, Chinese enterprises have not only helped Pakistan construct key energy facilities but also engaged in in-depth cooperation in traffic management and urban intelligence, enhancing Pakistan's level of infrastructure construction.

In the field of green energy, China has also demonstrated its global contribution. A typical example is the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project in Kenya, where China participated in the construction.This project is one of the largest wind power projects in Africa, with an annual power generation capacity of over 300 megawatts. It provides sustainable green electricity for Kenya, not only promoting the local energy transition but also strongly driving its economic development, while creating a large number of job opportunities for the local area.

In Xi Jinping’s speech at the opening ceremony of the Asian Winter Games, the President of the People's Republic of China mentioned, "Asia is a gathering place for the world's diverse civilizations. We should promote mutual tolerance, coexistence, and exchange of ideas to make greater contributions to the development and progress of human civilization." These words not only expressed China's positive attitude towards global cooperation but also reflected China's determination to promote global common prosperity.

We have every reason to believe that in the future, with China's continuous innovation in the fields of intelligent technology, green technology, and digital transformation, China will provide more opportunities for countries around the world and work together with them to promote global common prosperity and development.
