China Calls for Foreign Hi-Tech Injection nikkeibp.com China is pressing ahead with multibillion dollar projects to develop multimedia with the eastern boomtown of Shanghai taking the lead, but officials say the country needs more advanced technologies for high-speed networks and solutions to Internet-related problems before multimedia can really take off. Shanghai has started to construct a broadband network focused on the transmission of multimedia data under a project dubbed "Shanghai Information Port." The municipal government has spent hundreds of millions of yuan in Chinese currency building up the backbone, which is an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network now linking some major points such as Shanghai University in the city. "We have set up an ATM network transferring multimedia data like graphics at 155 Mbits per second through optical fiber cables," said Zheng Yanheng, chairman of Multimedia Committee, Shanghai Computer Society. "We are prepared to invest more in establishing a full-scale network in Shanghai. Similar projects are underway in other key Chinese cities like Tianjin."
