While we insist on telling Chinese stories from an international perspective, we also hope to objectively convey these stories to more corners of the world through our extensive international distribution network. The “Greater Bay Area Revealed” Theme Week is of great significance to us, not only because of the strategic importance of the region, but more importantly, the series of documentaries thoroughly reveals the planning and development of the Greater Bay Area and how it has impacted the lives of more than 60 million people living in the region. I believe this will be a window for people all over the world to understand Greater Bay Area. "
