my country has built more than 2.93 million 5G base stations, and the number of 5G mobile phone users has reached 676 million.

  July 19 news, at today's State Council Information Office press conference, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology spokesman and chief engineer Zhao Zhiguo said that in the first six months, telecommunications business revenue increased by 6.2% and total business volume increased by 17.1% year-on-year.

As of the end of June 2023, my country has built more than 2.93 million 5G base stations, and the total volume of telecommunications business has increased by 17.1% year-on-year. The information and communication industry is showing a booming development trend, with more users and wider applications.

It is said that my country has 676 million 5G mobile phone users and over 2.12 billion mobile IoT terminal users. 5G has been fully integrated into all walks of life, enabling the transformation and upgrading of the real economy. (IT Home Note: The three major operators have not yet released June data, but the total number of 5G package users in May exceeded 1.2 billion)

In addition, he also stated that my country's 5G applications have been integrated into 60 major categories of the national economy, accelerating their expansion and deepening into key areas such as industry, medical care, education, and transportation, with the cumulative number of application cases exceeding 50,000.

According to official data released at the China Internet Conference, the number of Internet users in China has reached 1.067 billion, network infrastructure construction has achieved remarkable results, network architecture has been continuously optimized, the world's largest and most technologically advanced 5G network has been built, and the number of active IPv6 users has exceeded 760 million. Integrated applications continue to deepen, the scale of the industrial Internet industry has exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan, there are more than 240 industrial Internet platforms with certain influence, and more than 260,000 service companies. The market environment is improving day by day, and the governance of problems such as APP infringement of user rights and telecommunications network fraud continues to advance . The average unit traffic rate of mobile networks has dropped by more than 95% , and inclusive services have gone deeper and more practical.

He pointed out that the current industrial economic development is still facing difficulties and challenges such as insufficient demand and declining efficiency. However, the overall recovery of my country's economy has not changed, and the industrial economic development is still very resilient.

Zhao Zhiguo said that in the next step, we need to develop and expand emerging industries. We will launch special actions to develop advanced manufacturing clusters and accelerate our progress towards world-class advanced manufacturing clusters. We will accelerate the development of emerging industries such as 5G, intelligent connected vehicles, new energy, new materials, biomedicine and high-end medical equipment, and further enhance the development momentum in high-speed rail, power equipment, new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, and communication equipment.

He also mentioned that we should give greater prominence to stabilizing growth. We should speed up the implementation of policies to promote automobile and home consumption, and step up the formulation and implementation of work plans for stabilizing growth in ten key industries, including automobiles, electronics, and steel. We should strengthen planning guidance and policy guidance, deepen strategic cooperation between ministries and provinces, and actively support industrial provinces to take the lead. We should focus on key enterprises such as chain leaders, specialized and innovative enterprises, establish and improve regular communication and exchange mechanisms, and closed-loop mechanisms for solving problems and demands, and promote greater vitality of business entities.

We must also work hard to expand effective demand. We will carry out in-depth actions to promote the "three products" of consumer goods and raw materials, organize the promotion of new energy vehicles, smart home appliances, and green building materials to rural areas, promote the innovative development of industries such as medical equipment, general aviation, and cruise ships and yachts, and create demand with high-quality supply. We will strengthen the overall coordination of the "14th Five-Year Plan" special plan in the field of industry and information technology, jointly implement special loans with the National Development Bank, and increase investment in manufacturing. We will guide the expansion of markets in key countries and countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" and consolidate the export of industrial products.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Zhiguo also emphasized: The next step will focus on combining technology and management to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of users. Accelerate the construction of public service platforms for mobile Internet applications, establish and improve the App authentication and signature system, and efficiently support industry supervision and service industry development.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on rectifying the pain points reported by users, such as fraudulent and misleading downloads, and forced automatic renewals. It will promote the "nuisance call rejection" service, strengthen the integrated technical defense measures for telecommunications and network fraud, and further strengthen the security line of defense.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also refine standards and specifications, focus on key links such as application stores and smart terminals, strengthen the management of the entire life cycle of mobile Internet applications, and promote the coordinated and standardized development of the upstream and downstream industries. It will study and formulate compliance guidelines for telecommunications services, guide enterprises to highlight service orientation, and create an information consumption environment that makes the public feel at ease and satisfied.
