China has overtaken the United States in online presence as more Chinese citizens use the worldwide web. The largest country in terms of population is now also world’s largest Internet population. The China Internet Network Information Centre reported Friday that the country had 253 million netizens as of end of June, up by 56 percent from last year.

My China Now tells the story of China today through a programme of short films by documentary makers, animators, artists and film-makers all of whom are defining contemporary culture in modern China. Featuring short films by Cao Fei, Wang Bo and Liu Hao, My China Now features 33 films including 12 new commissions that premiere at Southbank Centre.

Few weeks ago I’ve been to the exhibition “China Now” at the Victoria & Albert Museum, one of my favourite galleries in London. The exhibition had 3 main sections: Graphic, Fashion and Architecture. I found interesting all of them but I was particularly amazed by the third one where there were exhibited the most important and newest projects in Beijing.
