  23. Heroes from Whereever: China Content Broadcasting Network exhibition

    Australia’s "Radio Info" carried a story on April 29 about the "China Content Broadcasting Network (CCBN) exhibition", or 第32届中国国际广播电视信息网络展览会, an annual event held at the China National Convention Centre in Beijing. The exhibition and the forums accompanying it were widely covered in Chinese media. It was organized by the Academy of Broadcasting Science (ABS) and National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA), and attended by "a consortium of domestic and international industry leaders – including Beijing BBEF Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Fraunhofer IIS, RFmondial, and SimReal Technology".

    While DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) isn’t a big thing in Europe, the Fraunhofer Institute appears to be a regular stakeholder in China’s and India’s digital radio projects, and in projects elsewhere in the world. Beijing BBEF Science & Technology Co., Ltd., also known as "Beiguang", is a long-established manufacturer of transmitters for all wavebands, with customers in (as of 2012, according to company data) China itself, Africa, the Middle East, and lone outposts in Albania, Antarctica, and Cuba at the time.

    North Korea probably was or is a customer, too, but the transmitters’ location there is "a state secret". Maybe in accordance with that, BBEF have since removed all their webpages with anecdotes related to their 2011 training sessions with North Korean technicians, including the art of installing at least one transmitter underground.

    History and tradition aside, DRM might actually find a big market in East and South Asia. The car industry is ubiquitous in this context, and "[t]he opening of the Multi-Channel Network Collaborative Development Forum on 24 April saw the launch of the Shortwave Broadcasting Innovation Initiative, led by the Radio Station Administration Bureau of China’s National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA), together with Communication University of China and other industry partners."

    There is a party line of course, quoted in this context in Chinese media.
    Xi Jinping, in a speech on internet security in 2016:

    Some comrades’ suggestions to form industry-academia-research-application alliances are excellent. For example, we could establish an "Internet+" alliance, a high-end chip alliance, etc., to strengthen communication and collaboration in strategy, technology, standards, and markets, and to jointly tackle key innovation challenges. We could also explore a "challenge-based" approach, posting the key core technology projects needed. [Technological] Heroes are not restricted by their provenience; whoever has the ability, should be invited to take on the challenge.
