  Huang Chengcheng, vice chairman of the Internet Society of China, believes that, as a strategic, fundamental and leading industry supporting economic and social development, the information and communication industry has achieved leapfrog development in recent years.

  The "Report" shows that as of December 2021, the total number of mobile phone base stations in my country has reached 9.96 million, a total of 1.425 million 5G base stations have been built and opened, and 654,000 new 5G base stations have been added throughout the year.

Among them, there were 34.56 million fixed Internet broadband access users with an access rate of 1000 Mbps and above, a net increase of 28.16 million over the end of the previous year.

  Moreover, with the steady development of my country's industrial Internet, the application of "5G + Industrial Internet" has developed in depth.

  "The network foundation, platform center, data elements, and security guarantee functions of the Industrial Internet are further manifested." Huang clarified that the construction of the network system has continued to advance, basic telecommunications companies have accelerated the construction of external networks, industrial enterprises have promoted the transformation and upgrading of internal networks, and the top five national nodes Completed and operated stably; the platform system has been continuously expanded in depth and scope, with more than 150 industrial Internet platforms with national influence, with a total of more than 76 million sets of access equipment; data aggregation and empowerment have achieved initial results, and the National Industrial Internet Big Data Center A systematic layout covering the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle has been formed; the security system guarantee capability has been continuously improved, the top-level design has been continuously improved, and the threat monitoring and information reporting and handling capabilities have been continuously strengthened.

  In 2021, the overall scale of netizens in my country will continue to grow, and the gap between urban and rural Internet access will continue to narrow.

my country's existing administrative villages have fully realized "broadband access to every village", and problems such as communication difficulties in poverty-stricken areas have been historically solved.

  The "Report" shows that the number of rural netizens in my country has reached 284 million, the Internet penetration rate in rural areas is 57.6%, an increase of 1.7 percentage points compared with December 2020, and the difference in Internet penetration rates between urban and rural areas has narrowed by 0.2 percentage points compared with December 2020.

Underage netizens in urban areas use applications with strong social attributes such as search engines, social networking sites, news, shopping, etc., a significantly higher proportion, while minor netizens in rural areas prefer to use entertainment applications such as short videos, animations or comics.
