Now, a "Japan-China Ubiquitous Network Symposium" is to be held in order to conduct discussions (expert panel discussion, etc.) on the subject of ubiquitous network technology between Japan and China, and persons concerned with the "China-Japan IOT Promotion Alliance" from China have been invited to attend this symposium.
