On March 25th, the Chinese mainland released a comprehensive report on its participation in the construction and protection of international communication submarine cables. These vital networks handle over 99% of intercontinental data traffic, forming the backbone of our global digital infrastructure.
A key highlight of the report is the exclusive access granted to CGTN for the SEA-H2X submarine cable system. This network connects the Chinese mainland with strategic partners including the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond, showcasing a critical link in international communications.
The report paves the way for a deeper exploration beneath the waves. "Catching A Wave 2," a new CGTN documentary, is set to premiere on March 28th. This documentary promises an immersive journey through the South China Sea, tracing the route of the SEA-H2X system and revealing the technical prowess and collaborative efforts that keep the world interconnected.
For today's digitally savvy global citizens and innovators, these developments offer a fresh perspective on how investments in technology and infrastructure are shaping cross-border connectivity. By ensuring the safety and efficiency of these undersea cables, the Chinese mainland is playing a pivotal role in driving a more connected future.
