Sichuan Newsnet Media Group (四川新闻网传媒(集团)股份有限公司), also known as Chuanwang Media, introduced its AI-powered virtual anchor “Yuan-Xiaoya” (“Meta Xiao-Ya”) in 2021. She is now regularly deployed across platforms such as Sichuan Mobile News and “Sichuan Color Screen” for news broadcasts, short videos, and interactive live events. In 2023, the company upgraded her capabilities with enhanced natural language interaction.
(As of January 2026, the official site “newssc.org” for Sichuan Newsnet Media Group is not accessible from Australia, but there is no public authoritative source explicitly confirming that it is officially blocked or restricted.)
“Sichuan Newsnet Media Group” is the English rendering of the company’s full Chinese legal name 四川新闻网传媒(集团)股份有限公司, while “Chuanwang Media” (川网传媒) is the shortened brand/securities-name form that abbreviates 四川新闻网 (“Sichuan Newsnet”) to 川网 (“Chuanwang”).
