As of June 2023, the number of Internet users in my country is 1.079 billion, ranking first in the world;
In 2023, national online retail sales will reach 15.4 trillion yuan, ranking first in the world for 11 consecutive years;
The coverage rate of the national telemedicine service platform reaches 100% at the municipal level...
The vivid data reflects that our country is moving towards the information age and developing in step with the digital transformation.
In 2014, China celebrated the 20th anniversary of full-featured access to the international Internet.
On February 27 of that year, the first meeting of the Central Network Security and Informatization Leading Group was held, with General Secretary Xi Jinping personally serving as the group leader.
"Cybersecurity and informatization affect many areas of a country." At the meeting, the General Secretary made the judgment that "our country has become a cyber power" and put forward a series of major conclusions on cybersecurity and informatization work. , made a series of important deployments, and for the first time put forward the strategic goal of "strive to build our country into a cyber power".
From a "network power" to a "network power", this change has led China's Internet development into a new era.
"Do this wholeheartedly"
South of Purple Mountain, on the bank of Jiulong Lake, the Purple Mountain Laboratory located in the future Internet town of Nanjing is launching a sprint towards the innovation frontier of the world's Internet technology.
On July 6, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to learn more about the advancement of major scientific and technological tasks.
△On July 6, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping had a cordial exchange with scientific researchers when inspecting the Purple Mountain Laboratory in Nanjing, Jiangsu.
"Today I have an assignment for you. It is a bit difficult and it took us a long time to complete it." Academician Liu Yunjie reported to General Secretary Xi Jinping.
On December 13, 2014, the General Secretary inspected the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute in Nanjing and listened to Academician Liu Yunjie’s report on research and development work. He was very concerned about the use of new future network architecture to solve network security problems and raised ardent expectations.
Since its establishment in 2018, Purple Mountain Laboratory has achieved a series of world-leading results in the fields of future networks, B5G/6G communications, and network security, creating many "global firsts" in the field of network communications and security.
The laboratory also gathered domestic research teams that were early in researching 6G.
During his trip to Jiangsu in 2023, the General Secretary was very happy to learn that this team not only achieved significant improvements in transmission rate and system efficiency by promoting key technology research, but also achieved independent control of key technologies.
He told the local responsible comrades: "We must seize the opportunity, make new achievements, and do this well wholeheartedly."
The Internet is a new engine for social development and a new highland for international competition.
Facing the wave of new technological revolutions, how can we plan for, respond to, and follow the trend?
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the core technology of the Internet is our biggest "vital gate", and the control of core technology by others is our biggest hidden danger.
No matter how large an Internet company is and how high its market value is, if its core components rely heavily on foreign countries and the "vital" of its supply chain is in the hands of others, it will be like building a house on someone else's foundation. It may not be able to withstand the wind and rain, or even be vulnerable.
If we want to take the initiative in my country's Internet development and ensure Internet security and national security, we must break through the problem of core technology and strive to achieve "overtaking around corners" in certain fields and aspects.
Entering a new era, our country has seized the opportunity to accelerate breakthroughs in core technologies in the information field, and concentrated resources and efforts to increase research on cutting-edge technologies——
The development of software and integrated circuit technology is accelerating, and the application of domestic operating systems is further promoted; original breakthroughs have been achieved in quantum communications, quantum computing and other fields; the total number of top 500 supercomputers in the world has been ranked first for many years; high-end chips, basic software, and core components Important results have been achieved in key common technologies.
At present, my country has built the world's largest and most advanced 5G network, and innovative 5G applications are constantly emerging, covering many fields such as transportation, medical care, education, and cultural tourism.
"Let hundreds of millions of people have a greater sense of gain"
At the Urban Brain Operation Command Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, about 80 million pieces of data pour in from all directions in the city every day. High-speed operation and precise analysis are carried out in the "central system", covering application scenarios such as policing, transportation, cultural tourism, and health. , providing services to the people around the clock.
On March 31, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the operations command center to learn about the modernization of the urban governance system and governance capabilities.
The General Secretary pointed out that by promoting the modernization of urban governance through big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other means, big cities can also become "smarter".
The depth of Internet development depends largely on the breadth of Internet popularity.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we must implement the people-centered development idea.
It is necessary to adapt to people's expectations and needs, accelerate the popularization of information services, reduce application costs, and provide people with useful, affordable and good information services, so that hundreds of millions of people can have a greater sense of gain in sharing the fruits of Internet development. .
Not just in cities.
In the vast rural areas, various localities and departments have increased the popularization of information services, promoted the inclusive and inclusive development of the Internet, and continuously improved the level of digital, networked, and intelligent development of agriculture and rural areas.
Qinglong Village, Dasheng Town, Yubei District, Chongqing, is located in a hilly area and has no farming advantages. It once became a "hollow village".
The wave of informatization and digitalization has given this place a new look.
"With just a click of the mouse, tracts of citrus trees can 'drink' water at the same time." In 2021, Qinglong Village used digital technology to start implementing the citrus base smart agriculture project, creating a new path for the development of digital agriculture in hilly and mountainous areas. way.
In just a few years, Qinglong Village started with the mechanization of the entire village land and combined with digital means to build the country's first digital unmanned orchard in hilly and mountainous areas, which increased the average income of local villagers by more than 10,000 yuan per mu.
The light of the Internet "lights up" a better future.
A number of new business formats and applications, such as rural e-commerce industrial parks and live streaming, are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. The network connects rural areas and cities, activating the huge potential of rural revitalization.
In 2023, the national rural online retail sales will reach 2.49 trillion yuan.
Build a national unified, multi-level interconnected data sharing and exchange platform to achieve "less errands for the masses" through "more data travel"; "Internet +" is deeply integrated into education, elderly care and other fields, with the Internet access rate in primary and secondary schools across the country reaching 100 %; New Internet products and formats such as the sharing economy, smart travel, and mobile payment are emerging...
Under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on cyber power, my country’s cyberspace industry has ushered in new development and new leaps. The Internet has become a “sharp tool” that benefits, benefits and facilitates the people. Hundreds of millions of people enjoy a greater sense of gain, Happiness, security.
“Building a community with a shared future in cyberspace”
"One bay holds eleven countries together, and there is a positive interaction between the East, the Middle and the West." This is a vivid portrayal of Guangxi's unique location advantages.
As the only region connected by sea and land between my country and ASEAN, today's Guangxi is actively building digital information interconnection while building interconnected transportation infrastructure.
On December 14, 2023, after returning to China from his state visit to Vietnam, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Guangxi for inspection.

In November 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping made it clear in his speech at the opening ceremony of the 17th China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit: "China is willing to work with ASEAN to build a China-ASEAN Information Port and promote digital connectivity. , to create a 'Digital Silk Road'."
After years of construction, the China-ASEAN Information Port is striving to build a major international communication channel for ASEAN, a major hub for big data resource application services, a new generation information technology application demonstration highland, a digital economy open cooperation cluster, and a people-to-people exchange and cooperation center.
The Internet has truly turned the world into a global village, making the international community more and more a community of destiny in which we are among you and you are among us. People of all countries share weal and woe and have stakes in cyberspace.
In order to promote the construction of a community with a shared future in cyberspace, China has actively built an international exchange and cooperation platform in cyberspace.
In 2014, China founded the World Internet Conference and permanently located it in Wuzhen.
This is the largest and highest-level Internet conference held in China, and it is also an unprecedented summit meeting in the world's Internet field.
In July 2022, based on the successful hosting of the World Internet Conference for eight consecutive years, the International Organization of the World Internet Conference was established in Beijing.
