A Shenzhen State-owned enterprise has teamed up with Britain's V&A to create a new cultural hub dedicated to design on the city's seafront. Lin Qi reports.

Speaking about the addition of WeChat to the Victoria and Albert Museum's permanent collection in September, Tim Reeve, chief operating officer of the London museum, says it has been "a great experiment" for them to address the current issue of how to collect and display digital designs within the context of a museum.

Visitors to the museum in the British capital can see the WeChat app, China's most popular social media platform, on a mobile phone shown at one of V&A's galleries, and digital stickers used on WeChat and their sketches are also displayed.
