"Fu Liang said that it will take long enough time for China Radio and Television to be recognized by users.

　　"China already has 1.6 billion mobile users, the three major telecom operators have more than 300 million mobile users, and China Radio and Television has acquired 50 million, 10% of the users is a very long process." Fu Liang said.
