Ever imagined a world where 5G, AI, and gigabit broadband are just the start? 🚀 During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), the Chinese mainland’s digital infrastructure went from zero to hero, hitting world-class scale and tech levels, says Liu Liehong, head of the National Data Administration.
Buzzing with numbers? Here we go:
- 4.55 million 5G base stations built by June 2025 📶
- 226 million gigabit broadband users connected 🌐
- 2nd in the world for total computing power 🖥️🥈
These massive upgrades aren’t just bragging rights. They’re powering a host of new business models: online shopping sprees, remote classes, telemedicine check-ups, and the 5G+ industrial internet revolution. Think of it as the ultimate remix of tech and everyday life! 🎶
Rural vibes got an upgrade, too. Farmers now boost incomes using 5G networks and e-commerce — trading in fresh produce with just a tap on their phones. 🌾📱
On the tech front, the Chinese mainland scored big wins: integrated circuits are accelerating, domestic operating systems are taking off (over 1.19 billion HarmonyOS devices and counting), and a whopping 60% of global AI patents come from here. 🤯💡
Data is the new gold. With 400,000+ data-related enterprises and a market size of 5.86 trillion yuan (a 117% jump since the last plan), this sector is set to keep booming. 📊✨
All these milestones show the Chinese mainland’s determination to supercharge its digital economy and lay the groundwork for high-quality growth in the years ahead. Ready for the next level? We sure are! 🔥
