　　Liu Liehong, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: A total of more than 718,000 5G base stations have been built, accounting for about 70% of the world’s total. 5G networks in independent networking mode have covered all cities in the country, with more than 200 million 5G terminal connections, and mobile Internet access per household The traffic is 50% higher than that of 4G users.

　　Liu Liehong said that the accumulated investment of basic telecommunications companies in the field of 5G network construction has exceeded 260 billion, and 5G industry application pilots have been carried out in 30 provinces across the country. The implementation projects cover more than 10 industries such as energy, medical, transportation, education, and cultural tourism.

　　Yang Jie, Chairman of China Mobile: It is estimated that by 2025, China's information service market will reach 20.4 trillion yuan.

From 2020 to 2035, 5G alone will boost the global GDP growth rate by 7.4%, creating a total economic output of 13 trillion US dollars.

　　At present, China Telecom and China Unicom have jointly built the world's largest joint construction and sharing 5G network. Both parties stated that they will continue to deepen joint construction and sharing while maintaining a moderately advanced 5G network construction.
