Here are some links about that 2017 quantum video call. I've narrowed down my selection to (perceived, I may be wrong) Western media. Searching the names of both participants appears to yield the best results, they are "Chunli Bai" and "Anton Zeilinger".
It would seem that no China-sympathetic media left it out to herald it as a sensation, whereas in Western media, reports appear to be mostly confined to scientific[0][1] or alternative[2] medias, a notable exception being the DailyMail/tabloid[3] article(?).
I only have a very rudimentary understanding of both cryptography and quantum mechanics, any takes on the actual significance of this?
