‘The Three-body Problem’ × Netflix: Beyond sci-fi and nations

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Sept. 16, 2020 — A news report by China.org.cn on the transnational adaption of "The Three-body Problem":

 

On September 1st, Netflix, the world’s leading streaming service, announced plans to bring an acclaimed Chinese sci-fi trilogy "The Three-body Problem" to the small screen. D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, the "Game of Thrones" showrunners will tackle this adaptation. Liu Cixin, author of the trilogy, and Ken Liu, the English translator, will serve as consulting producers.

"The Three-body Problem" is the first Asian novel to win a Hugo Award for Best Novel. With millions of fans around the world, there is much anticipation for a TV adaptation.

However, since Netflix announced its plan, concern has outweighed excitement. Given the controversial ending to "Game of Thrones," many are skeptical of Benioff and Weiss’s ability for adaptation. Meanwhile, as the books delve deep into Chinese culture and history, some readers outside of China are worried that Netflix might "westernize" the story.

The trilogy tells the clash between humans and aliens from Trisolaris, a doomed planet with three suns, orbiting in an unstable state of three-body problem in classical mechanics. After intercepting signals from Earth, the aliens paralyze Earth’s advancement of science and begin their invasion toward Earth. In response, humans empower Wallfacers to fight against the aliens. Liu Cixin said that he set out to tell a story that "transcends time and the confines of nations, cultures and races; one that compels us to consider the fate of humankind as a whole."

In the novel, all humans share the challenge for their fate, and in reality, such conundrum remains. Today, our Trisolaris threat is the COVID-19 pandemic; in the future, it could take other forms. What will remain constant is that humanity share weal and woe; in no way could mankind survive and prosper via confrontation and separation.

Facing common challenges, all humans should stand together. As for where the benefits coincide, people should all the more collaborate for win-win outcomes.

Despite the many uncertainties of the Netflix adaptation, the company is better-suited compared to its fledgling Chinese counterparts. For example, it has a good track record of adapting source material from Japan and South Korea. The transnational adaption of "The Three-body Problem" is a marriage between superb storytelling and superior producing techniques. Literary masterpieces are the common treasure for all humanity, and great international adaptation should be encouraged, so as to make them accessible for more people around the world.

The real message here goes beyond the trilogy or literature. Cooperation should neither be restricted within national borders, nor politicized. All countries should seek common development, and secure a better future for mankind.

Penta Security Enters Indonesian Market by Signing New Distributor PT. Prospera Aswindra Teknologi

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 16, 2020 — Penta Security Systems Inc. signed a distribution agreement with PT. Prospera Aswindra Teknologi, Indonesia’s leading tech distributor for IT security products and solutions. This marks the South Korean security vendor’s official entry into the Indonesian market.

Being the largest economy in Southeast Asia and a country undergoing major digital transformation, Indonesia sees high demand for cybersecurity solutions as governments and businesses face a growing number of cyber threats. To tackle Indonesia’s cybersecurity challenges, protecting web applications from web attacks is crucial, making web application firewalls (WAF) a necessity for all organizations.

Penta Security’s WAPPLES has been chosen by PT. Prospera Aswindra Teknologi along with a number of other regional distributors, to fill out the WAF portion of their security solutions package. Different from signature-based detection systems, WAPPLES’ COCEP engine utilizes dozens of rules instead of thousands of signatures, significantly reducing latency while offering the same level of detection capability. WAPPLES’ users can choose from a total of 33 customizable rules to fine-tune their security policies to best handle their environment.

"To overcome the increased sophistication of web attacks, WAPPLES’ rule-based COCEP engine operates more logically and efficiently than existing WAFs in the market," said DS Kim, Chief Strategy Officer of Penta Security. "Our priority is to focus on staying ahead of the attacks whilst letting our users operate their businesses in the safest environment. We’re excited to move forward with the partnership and provide what’s really worth our customers’ investment."

Despite travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, Penta Security has been hosting a number of online seminars to support its channel partners, distributors, and business customers. A recent seminar designated for the Jakarta region drew attendance of more than 50 public and private organizations.

About Penta Security

Penta Security Systems Inc. is a leader in data, IoT, and blockchain security solutions and services. With 23 years of expertise in powering secured connections, Penta Security is the top cybersecurity vendor in Asia, as recognized by Frost & Sullivan, and APAC market share leader in the WAF industry.

The agreement will see both parties develop the Technology Oriented Practitioner (TOP) programme, a Work-Study Scheme for first-year students enrolled on the MSc programme in FinTech and Data Analytics at HKU, with ASTRI providing paid full-time employment for up to 30 students for a nine-month period and assigning them to one of ASTRI’s many ongoing FinTech projects, such as a smart credit assessment that helps SMEs secure loans or an AI-driven data analytics platform that empowers more effective risk management, keeping our society safer and smarter.

The Commissioner for Innovation and Technology Rebecca Pun Ting-ting JP witnessed the signing ceremony at the University of Hong Kong.

Hugh Chow, Chief Executive Officer of ASTRI, said: "We are fully committed to building a bridge of talent between academia and the industry and we are thrilled to be offering this opportunity to future talent in Hong Kong to gain invaluable work experience at such a crucial part of their studies.

"Being a world-leader in FinTech is vital to Hong Kong’s future success and a crucial aspect of the role we will play in the Greater Bay Area, making the most of our city’s unique advantages. We are therefore thrilled to be making such an important contribution to the development of future talent," he added.

Professor Christopher Chao, Dean of HKU Engineering said: "FinTech is one of the fastest growing areas in business today. Our Department of Computer Science had recently launched a Bachelor’s degree in Financial Technology [(BASc (FinTech)] and a brand-new interdisciplinary Master’s degree in Financial Technology and Data Analytics for 2021 which aim at nurturing financial technologists and entrepreneurs with essential knowledge in both finance and technology. Through the Work-Study Scheme, our students can gain practical experience and get prepared to contribute to the development of the FinTech industry in Hong Kong and in the region."

The TOP programme is among ASTRI’s many commitments to developing talent in the I&T sector, particularly FinTech. Working with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, ASTRI launched the FinTech Career Accelerator Scheme in 2016, aiming to cultivate the future talent necessary to sustain Hong Kong’s banking, finance and business services, as well as preserving our city’s competitiveness as an international finance hub. Students receive an internship at financial institutions or technology companies and in the past four years, more than 500 have taken part. This year, the HKMA received more than 1,400 applications, nearly twice as many as last year.

The ASTRI University Advisory Council (AUAC) has partnered with top universities in Hong Kong to harness knowledge and nurture talent through strategic collaboration with students, providing them with hands-on experience.

Earlier this month, ASTRI launched its Graduate Programme 2020, providing full-time employment to graduates and an opportunity to work closely with its award-winning researchers. ASTRI also offers a three-month blockchain accelerator programme, in partnership with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park and Molecular Hub, as well as summer internships, which took in 42 students from 15 universities across the world in 2020.
