On April 12, US China Strong and wechat held a strategic cooperation conference at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco to announce their strategic partnership. At the same time, a wechat Influence conference themed "Bridging the Cultural Gap" will be held to unite business, technology and education partners to promote cultural, educational, economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States. Sunway Media, as an overseas focused Chinese video operator, was invited to attend. Mr. Li Zhenning, Chief operating officer of Sunway Media, delivered a speech entitled "Offer You an Accessible China ". He said that Sunway Media will continue to connect users around the world and spread Chinese culture. Its Lingcod TV is very popular among Chinese families and Chinese video lovers worldwide because of its rich Chinese content and smooth service. Lingcod TV's education section will help more and more young people in the United States learn Chinese. Lingcod TV will also be a window for more Americans to learn about the "real" China that is developing through video.
Sino-us Strong is a non-profit organization launched by the US government in 2009. It aims to enhance cultural exchanges and integration between China and the US, and create opportunities for Americans to study in China, learn Chinese and learn more about China. Sino-american has helped more than 100,000 Americans study in China to learn Chinese language and culture. In 2015, the presidents of China and the United States met to jointly launch the "One Million Strong" campaign, aiming to increase the number of Americans learning Chinese to one million by 2020. By the end of 2016, wechat monthly active users have exceeded 889 million, more than 50% of wechat users use wechat every day, more than 36% of wechat users open wechat more than 30 times a day, and more than 31% of wechat users shop through wechat network. With more than 100 million overseas users, wechat has increasingly become a mainstream local social platform. The establishment of a strategic partnership between the two sides will strengthen cooperation and enable more Americans to learn Chinese and understand China.
Mr. Li Zhenning, Chief operating Officer of Sunway Media, pointed out in his keynote speech that global economic cooperation and the development of Internet technology have made the world increasingly flat. China and the United States are not only the engines of global economic growth, but also important drivers of technological and model innovation on the Internet. China and the United States are increasingly closely linked. With the increasing integration of Chinese and American cultures, language learning has become more urgent and important. In 2015, the number of American students studying in China reached 21,975, while the number of Chinese students studying in the US reached 304,000, a difference of about 15 times. In 2016, 600 times as many Chinese students studied English as American students studied Chinese. This reflects that the Chinese know the United States better than the Americans know China. The coming decade will be a decade in which China and the United States work together to promote global development. It will also be a decade in which China and the United States compete with each other. If the United States is to continue to lead the way in the face of this powerful adversary, it must learn more about the real China.
Lingcod TV contains rich Chinese video content, including history, culture, science and technology, life and other topics; Powerful live, replay, on-demand capabilities and CDNS deployed across the United States allow smooth, clear video to reach users on any screen, in any way. The education section of Lingcod TV allows American users to learn Chinese culture and history through special educational videos in Chinese.

At the conference, Sunway Media also showed the TV terminal and mobile terminal products of Lingcod TV to the guests and users, and discussed the cooperation plan with excellent media, technology and education enterprises in the United States.
Sunway Media firmly believes that Chinese culture will make the world a better place, and will continue to connect global users and spread Chinese culture.
