As one of a serial of reports, this paper is a survey on multimedia researches and applications in China, 2000. Since multimedia is a cross research area, papers about multimedia technology are distributed on various journals. We saw about 4 633 papers published on 14 Chinese journals in 2000, from which we selected 521 ones on multimedia technology and application, then we made analysis on them, and the classified data were compared with which of 1998 and 1999. Looking into the data we can see that researchers in China pay more and more attention to human computer interaction, multimodal interface, digital watermarking, virtual reality, multimedia data retrieval technology, distributed multimedia supporting technology, GIS and Digital Earth, which are also the international evolution trends in a quite long period. We present here an overview on the progress in multimedia technology in China, 2000. This will be convenient for researchers looking up references, and helpful for editors compiling journals and for authors contributing papers.
