Latest tech continues to shape news coverage

When the two sessions kicks off every year, it is also the time to show some of the latest technologies that could potentially change our lives in the near future.

As the biggest event on China's annual political agenda, the two sessions - the annual meetings of the country's top legislature and top political advisory body - doubles as a testing ground for innovation as the growing demand for multimedia coverage, livestreaming and big data transmission has opened up new opportunities for new technologies to be used.

I have covered the two sessions for five consecutive years, but was still surprised to see gear I had never seen before as I walked through a horde of peers from other media outlets holding all kinds of hightech gadgets before the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's National Committee opened its session on Sunday.
