CMG conducts first ‘5G + 8K’ integrated production in China
China Media Group (CMG) successfully carried out the first domestic 5G + 8K integrated production in real-time transmission and rapid editing on Wednesday to usher in the upcoming Two Sessions, China’s biggest annual political event.
The launching ceremony of the promotion week of “5G + 4K/8K + AI” media innovative application was held on Tuesday.
Shen Haixiong, vice minister of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and president and editor-in-chief of CMG, vice presidents of CMG Yan Xiaoming and Jiang Xiwei, CMG’s editorial board members and the heads of China’s three major mobile network operators attended the ceremony.
In the “5G + 4K/8K integrated production” display area, technicians showed the 8K video and audio transmission and production process by using the “5G + 8K backpack” to transmit two 8K signals in real time, and simultaneously edit the received 8K content. The images transmitted through two 8K signals perfectly restored the stunning early summer view, compared to the test results of 4K signals.
CMG’s 8K promo video titled “Colorful China” was also presented on an 8K resolution LED screen, symbolizing CMG’s efforts in promoting the innovative application of “5G + 4K/8K + AI” over the past year.
The promo featured five highlights of China’s 70th National Day Ceremony: light show at CMG’s headquarters of the Yangtze River Delta, 8K documentary “the Magnolia City,” 2020 CMG Spring Festival Gala and 8K test image sequence. With high-quality resolution and remarkably vivid light and colors, 8K LED screens offer a memorable visual experience.
In the “AI Cloud Editing” display area, technicians demonstrated the application and production of AI cloud editing technology. During the 70th-anniversary National Day celebrations, CMG managed to edit and synthesize 86 clips of the parade through AI cloud editing technology, thus greatly improving production efficiency.
During this year’s Two Sessions, CMG will use 5G network to conduct live broadcast and ensure an all-angle coverage of the event. The 8K real-time videos produced by CMG will be uploaded on all new media platforms and displayed on more than 400,000 ultra-clear large screens in major cities across the country.
The 5G, 4K/8K and AI technologies are restructuring media production and broadcasting techniques, extending an opportunity of leap-forward development of traditional media.
This year, CMG will make every effort to promote its transformation from a traditional radio and television media to an all-media organization, producing world-class original video and audio content. The media giant will also focus on the transition from traditional program production and broadcasting model to deepening supply-side structural reform on content production, as well as the switch from traditional technology layout to “5G + 4K/8K + AI” strategic pattern, according to Shen.
He added that CMG will continue to cooperate with other partners, including the three major mobile network operators, to carry out the technological innovation of video and audio production and broadcast in 5G context, and comprehensively promote the leap-forward development of radio and television media and communication technologies.CMG conducts first ‘5G + 8K’ integrated production in ChinaUpdated 23:02, 19-May-2020CGTN

Namibia Embassy Celebrates 35th Independence Anniversary in Abuja
…As Nigeria-Namibia Trade Relations Expand
By Joel Ajayi
The Namibian Mission in Nigeria recently marked the 35th Independence Anniversary of Namibia with a vibrant celebration in Abuja, marked by pomp and excitement.
Speaking at the event, His Excellency Humphrey Geiseb, High Commissioner of the Republic of Namibia to Nigeria, commended the resilience of every Namibian who fought for the country’s freedom and democracy.
“This day reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless Namibians who gave their lives for our freedom. As our national anthem says, ‘Their blood waters our freedom.’ Namibia’s independence on 21 March 1990 was the result of a long and tireless struggle. We continue to honor the legacy of those who fought for a free and democratic nation,” he stated.
He emphasized that this year’s celebration holds additional significance:
“A few weeks ago, Namibia witnessed the inauguration of Her Excellency Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as the 5th President of the Republic of Namibia. This marks a historic milestone, not only for our country but for the entire SADC region, as she is the first woman to hold the highest office in the land.”
He praised the progress Namibia has made in gender representation, noting that President Ndaitwah’s administration includes a female Vice President, nine women Cabinet Ministers, and a female Speaker of Parliament.
“This shows that women occupy top leadership positions in Namibia, demonstrating that they can lead with strength, vision, and wisdom,” he said.
Reflecting on Nigeria’s role in Namibia’s independence struggle, the High Commissioner expressed deep gratitude:
“Namibia’s fight for independence would not have been successful without the unwavering support of our international friends, and Nigeria was a key partner. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Nigeria welcomed Namibians—particularly students—and supported liberation movements in Southern Africa through political, economic, diplomatic, and logistical means.”
He noted that, since independence, Namibia has enjoyed peace and political stability for 35 years without internal conflict. However, challenges such as poverty and unemployment persist. The government remains committed to improving living standards and achieving the goals of Vision 2030, aiming to solidify its high middle-income status.
Despite challenges in securing financial support due to its middle-income classification, Namibia continues to advance across multiple sectors.
Geiseb also acknowledged Nigeria’s contribution to strengthening bilateral ties.
“I want to sincerely thank the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the successful outcomes of the 5th Session of the Namibia-Nigeria Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation, held in February 2025 in Namibia.”
That session resumed official dialogue between the two nations after a 15-year hiatus and introduced new mechanisms for deepening collaboration.
Highlighting growing economic ties, the High Commissioner mentioned that two Nigerian companies—Premier Charcoal and King Charcoal—are thriving in Namibia’s charcoal industry, exporting high-quality products to the international market. Additionally, Namibia exports salt worth approximately $5–6 million annually to Nigeria.
“We look forward to further expanding our trade relations, and we hope Nigerian products will soon be available in Namibian supermarkets,” he said.
He concluded by appreciating Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the entire Nigerian government for their continued support in strengthening Namibia-Nigeria bilateral relations.
