[Explanation] On March 5, the first session of the 14th National People's Congress "Ministerial Channel" opened. Minister of Industry and Information Technology Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang, and Minister of Ecology and Environment Huang Runqiu had face-to-face exchanges with reporters.

  [Explanation] Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that China's economic development will encounter many difficulties and challenges in 2022, but the overall industrial economy has stabilized and improved, and the manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 13 consecutive years.

  [Concurrent] Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology

  my country's industrial economy is generally stable and improving.

The added value of industry broke through the 40 trillion mark for the first time, and the added value of industries above designated size increased by 3.6% year-on-year. The role of industry as a "ballast stone" in the macroeconomic market has further emerged.

Among them, the added value of the manufacturing industry accounts for 27.7% of the entire GDP, and my country's manufacturing industry ranks first in the world for 13 consecutive years.

  [Explanation] The development of 5G has always been a hot topic for everyone. Jin Zhuanglong said that China has built the largest and most technologically advanced 5G network. Now China's 5G development has been at the forefront of the world. The next step is to strengthen international cooperation and accelerate 6G research and development.

  [Concurrent] Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology

  The specific measures can be quoted in three words: construction, use, and research.

"Building" means building more base stations. This year, 600,000 5G base stations will be newly opened, and this year there will be more than 2.9 million base stations.

The second is to "use", that is, to expand 5G applications, and implement the "5G+" action plan.

We plan to build more than 10,000 5G factories during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

The third is "research". From the perspective of the 5G development process, the role of the government, enterprises, and research institutions has been played well. Now it seems that the effect is very good. We mainly need to give full play to the advantages of a large-scale market and a complete industrial system. Industry-university-research institutes Use concentrated efforts to strengthen international cooperation and accelerate 6G research and development.

  [Explanation] Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang said that enterprises are the main body of scientific and technological innovation. In the future, we must support technological innovation of enterprises on the basis of realizing fair rights, fair opportunities, and fair rules.

  [Concurrent] Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang

  This kind of ecology is conducive to enterprises becoming the main body of technological innovation and giving them opportunities. The so-called fair opportunities, fair rules, and fair rights.

At the same time, regardless of whether they are state-owned, private, large, medium, small and micro enterprises, as long as they engage in scientific and technological innovation activities and use science and technology to improve the development quality, development level and competitiveness of enterprises, the Ministry of Science and Technology will fully support them, and support them equally in three aspects, that is, rights , opportunities and rules.

  [Explanation] Regarding ChatGPT, which has recently attracted attention at home and abroad, and the future prospects of China's artificial intelligence field, Wang Zhigang said that AI is a general direction and a large field. He hopes that China can make Chinese contributions to promoting the development of AI and the international community in the future.

  [Concurrent] Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang

  Generally speaking, the field of AI is a general direction and a large field, and its influence is not only in the field of science and technology itself, but may also involve transformation, application and empowerment in other fields.

The transformation and application of AI can be combined not only through scientific research and technology traction, but also through scenario-driven and user needs, so that AI can not only contribute to China's economic and social development and China's science and technology, but also hope that we can engage in AI research and transformation Universities, scientific research institutes, enterprises, and scientific and technological personnel can make their own better progress and development, and make Chinese contributions to the human (promotion) AI system (development) and to the international community with Chinese technology.

  [Explanation] Huang Runqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced that China's ecological environment has undergone significant changes in the past ten years, laying a solid foundation for the construction of modernization in which man and nature live in harmony.

  (In the past ten years), the PM2.5 concentration in my country's key cities has dropped by 57%, and the carbon dioxide emission per unit of GDP has dropped by 34.4%.

China is the country with the fastest improvement in air quality, the largest use of renewable energy, and the largest increase in forest resources in the world.

  [Explanation] Huang Runqiu said that in the future, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will coordinate the promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and continue to promote the Chinese-style modernization of harmony between man and nature.
