Tian Suning, founding partner and chairman of China Broadband Capital

Tian Suning said while the network in the past was mainly about connection, the network of the next generation is not about connection but about perception.

He said the establishment of a perception network that integrates connection, computing power, storage, and security is only at the beginning. When a massive and new type of data system is produced, the new era will start.

The world should not only be connected but also be perceived. When the world is perceived, people can go from cognition to prediction of the world, he said.
