Technology offers Chinese stories more diverse forms of expression, and the powerful combination of state-of-the-art digital technology with traditional Chinese culture produces a unique competitive international offering.

　　In 2024, China's first AAA game Black Myth: Wukong took the world by storm. It sold over 10 million copies within just three days of its release.

　　The success of Black Myth: Wukong is mostly attributed to the strong support of cutting-edge gaming technologies and advanced computing equipment.

　　Drawing inspiration from the famous 16th century novel Journey to the West, the game recreates temples and historical sites across China.

　　Digital technologies such as real-world scanning, multi-dimensional modeling, ultra-high-definition texture rendering and motion capture bring the characters, scenes, objects and actions to life, with intricate light effects offering players a unique and immersive experience.

　　The game's popularity has sparked a global resurgence of interest in the Journey to the West. International players are reading the Chinese classic to better understand the story of the Monkey King.

　　During the Paris Olympics in August last year, China's Alibaba Cloud was the exclusive cloud service provider, supporting the largest-scale TV and online broadcast in human history.

　　The Paris Olympics marked the first time a cloud-based global live broadcast distribution system replaced satellite transmission as the primary broadcasting method. Over two-thirds of the Olympic TV and online live signals were distributed globally via Alibaba Cloud.

　　China has carried out a series of cultural relic protection and archaeological cooperation projects overseas, helping restore damaged relics and preserve the local cultures.

　　One such project was the nine-story Basantapur Tower, a landmark in Nepal, which collapsed after an earthquake. During the restoration led by a Chinese team, experts utilized aerial photography, 3D scene scanning, and close-range measurement technologies to document the restoration process, offering valuable references for future restorations in Nepal.

　　Digital cultural products and services, including online novels, animations, film and television works, games, music, short videos and live streaming, have become significant forces in promoting Chinese culture globally.

　　Thanks to advancements in AI and large-scale language models, Chinese works can now be translated into multiple languages more efficiently and at lower costs.

　　A notable example is WebNovel, an international online reading platform under the China Literature Group, which had published approximately 6,000 translated Chinese online novels by November 2024. Over 2,000 of them were completed by AI.
