# Live: In Shenzhen – tech pioneers forge their own path

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by CGTN.

Pioneering spirit is alive and well in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province. CGTN's Sean travels from DC to this tech epicenter. We will profile a number of tech companies. Who knows? One of them could be the next Huawei or BYD. We'll discuss the challenges they must overcome and their hopes for the future as they chart their course.

How long is your commute every day? We also talk to a company founder, one of the legions of people who takes a daily shuttle from Hong Kong to Shenzhen to turn bold ideas into real-world innovation. #APECChinaYear
