White porcelain artworks from Dehua, east China's Fujian Province, renowned as "Blanc de Chine", were showcased in Beijing from November 5 to 6 at the cultural exchange exhibition, which was one of the activities held during the 7th World Media Summit.
Many foreign guests stopped to admire the exquisite pieces, expressing curiosity and asking questions such as "Is it made of stone?" "Is this really not made of fabric?"
The Summit was held in Beijing from November 5 to 9 under the theme "Media in the Intelligent Age: From Consensus to Action." It drew nearly 500 representatives from nearly 330 mainstream media outlets, think tanks and government bodies from 112 countries and regions, as well as the United Nations and other international organizations.
