“Chunghwa Telecom’s strategic foresight and execution have positioned it at the forefront of Taiwan’s telecom sector. The company’s advancements in AI, 5G, and sustainable broadcasting services show a deep understanding of evolving customer expectations and technological trends,” said Mei Lee Quah, senior director of ICT research at Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a forward-looking strategy grounded in innovation, Chunghwa Telecom has remained responsive to shifting market dynamics. Its investments in AI data centers (AIDC), open RAN, and cloud-native infrastructure reflect a clear intent to lead domestically and across international markets. This adaptability has allowed the company to export smart solutions to Poland, Thailand, and Indonesia—demonstrating the global relevance of Taiwan-developed telecom applications.

Innovation remains core to Chunghwa Telecom’s mission. The company’s proprietary video streaming technology, showcased during its 4K broadcast of the 2024 Summer Olympics via Hami Video, redefined viewer engagement through augmented reality (AR), real-time athlete interaction, and AI-powered personalization. These capabilities enhanced the user experience and increased daily active users and video-on-demand traffic.

The company’s customer-centric approach is further reflected in its AI-driven fraud detection tools, such as SIM swap and roaming status APIs, which offer enhanced user security in collaboration with Taiwan’s financial institutions. These proactive measures have successfully blocked millions of spoofed international calls, establishing Chunghwa Telecom as a responsible and reliable digital enabler.

Frost & Sullivan commends Chunghwa Telecom for setting a high bar in telecom excellence through its blend of strategic vision, operational excellence, and customer-first design. The company’s ability to integrate ESG principles, including carbon footprint-certified set-top boxes and rural digital inclusion initiatives, reinforces its role as a socially conscious industry leader.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to an organization that demonstrates exemplary strategy development and implementation, resulting in meaningful improvements in market position, customer satisfaction, and business performance.

SCO upholds the Shanghai Spirit and stays true to its founding mission

BEIJING, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is the first intergovernmental organization initiated by China and named after a Chinese city. Since its founding in 2001, the SCO has followed the guidance of the Shanghai Spirit, forging a distinctive path of peaceful development and presenting a compelling model for building a new type of international relations.

The Shanghai Spirit, often described as the “root” and “soul” of the SCO, embodies the principles of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development.

China, as the initiator of the Shanghai Spirit, has consistently integrated these principles in its actions. At the SCO Summit 2025 in Tianjin, member states once again held high this banner, reaffirming their commitment to the organization’s original aspirations and advancing steadily toward building a community with a shared future for humanity.

Mutual trust and mutual benefit: the foundation of cooperation

The SCO traces its roots to the “Shanghai Five” mechanism, which was established upon two important agreements on confidence-building and mutual reduction of military forces in border areas.

Since its founding, the SCO has further consolidated this foundation by adopting two cornerstone documents – the SCO Charter and the Treaty on Long-Term Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation – codifying into law a firm commitment to political trust and good-neighborly friendship.

At each SCO summit, leaders have deepened policy dialogue and coordination, respected each other’s core interests and legitimate concerns, addressed issues proactively, and provided steadfast strategic direction, setting a commendable example for bridging the global trust deficit.

Equality and consultation: the principle of engagement

From carrying forward the historical wisdom of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to promoting the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, the emphasis on equality and consultation embedded in the Shanghai Spirit has distinguished the SCO as a pioneering model of international organization.

It rejects the hegemonic logic that “might makes right,” transcends outdated zero-sum thinking and the rhetoric of civilizational clashes, and upholds equal consultation, blazing a new path for the development of international organizations.

As former SCO Secretary-General Rashid Alimov observed, what sets the SCO apart is that the voice of each member state is heard equally, and all members strive to sit around a “round table without sharp corners,” seeking maximum common ground for shared development while safeguarding their national interests.

Respect for diversity of civilizations: a path of harmony and inclusiveness

Central to the Shanghai Spirit is a commitment to equality, dialogue, and inclusiveness among civilizations. It fosters peaceful coexistence and mutual enrichment, regarding mutual learning as the most solid foundation of SCO’s development and people-to-people connectivity as its strongest driving force.

By embracing openness, inclusiveness, and mutual learning, regional countries have advanced the Global Civilizations Initiative and expanded cooperation in science and technology, education, arts, health, and tourism. These efforts respond to the aspirations of people for a more fulfilling cultural life and deeper connections.

Common development: a path to shared prosperity

The Shanghai Spirit resonates with the Silk Road spirit of peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit, injecting fresh momentum into SCO’s development.

The organization’s share in the global economy continues to grow, and its contribution to world economic growth is steadily increasing. The Belt and Road Initiative is also aligning more closely with the development strategies and cooperation initiatives of regional countries, while connectivity projects are unleashing robust momentum for cooperation and creating pathways for high-quality, sustainable development.

Today, as changes unseen in a century accelerate across the world, the international landscape is undergoing profound transformations, with regional conflicts flaring up one after another. Deficits in peace, development, security, and governance are growing even more pronounced.

By upholding the Shanghai Spirit, SCO countries stand firmly on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, practice true multilateralism, and advocate an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

As an important platform for solidarity and self-strengthening among the Global South, the SCO brings together tremendous strength to improve global governance and advance a community with a shared future for humanity.

Taking the SCO Tianjin Summit as a new starting point, the SCO will continue to carry forward the Shanghai Spirit, illuminating the path toward an SCO community with a shared future and contributing greater stability and hope for development and progress to a world in turbulence and transformation.
