Shenzhen today represents innovation and transformation, said Felix Paz, general director of the Peruvian news agency Andina, at the Asia-Pacific Media Forum in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Saturday. Openness, innovation, and cooperation — the three priorities China has proposed for APEC 2026 — can also guide the future of media, because open communication listens, innovative communication drives change, and communication that seeks cooperation builds bridges, he said.
