According to CCPIT, China's 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, and 5G technology will all make debut at the expo.
The theme of the China Pavilion is "Constructing the Community of Human Destiny - innovation and opportunity". The pavilion will fully showcase China's achievements on the fields of information, science and technology, education and communications.

It will also be decorated with glass and Chinese traditional lattice windows.
