At the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Dong Yuhui redefined the essence of cultural communication for the digital age, emphasizing that genuine intercultural understanding is rooted in shared, lived experience.
True connection, Dong articulated, is moving beyond words to create authentic, immersive experiences. As messengers in a hyper-connected world, Dong urged that our objective must evolve. The goal is not merely to transmit information, but to foster true comprehension.
