On the morning of March 8, after×₽  the second plenary session of the Fi≈®fth Session of the 13th National    ©People's Congress, theπ÷Ω< "ministerial channel★¶÷" was opened, and some of the §∞λresponsible persons of relevant min♠₽istries and commissions of the Stλ×Ω©ate Council were invited to accept on∏<≠line video interviews.

Since the commercial use of 5♦×G, many enterprises have reg±πarded the use and development of≥  5G technology as an important oppoδ£∑rtunity. How does the Ministry of Ind¶‍σ₽ustry and Information Technology v£←iew accelerating the development of≠☆ 5G this year?

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industr♥ §®y and Information Technolog↓™π↑y, said that the develo↕≈¥pment of 5G now has a very goo↕"d foundation. On the one hαγ‌and, there is network const×↓ruction. China's 5G network ®↓is now the world's leading₹≤ and largest. The total ≤ ≈number of base stationλ∞s exceeded 1.425 million, and ®₽→÷the actual number of con¥‌‍≈nected users exceeded 500 million. Ev€‌♦≠eryone also felt the convenience ≈♥↓of life and work. Many‌∑¶φ application scenarios are emerging.↕♠ For example, the Beijing Winter O₹¥ >lympics, which has just been sucσ γ®cessfully held, has α ☆made the application of 5G tec¥​>∑hnology richer for p∏$★©eople who cannot be there in person. Th♥∏∞e next thing is to wor♠♣δ±k on the base statio↕ε☆n, and now it's♠Ω♣★ not enough.

In addition, it is necessary to↕α​ further expand and enrich ↓βγthe application scenarios to facili↕δ≤÷tate everyone's work​♥γ  and life. We also encoura£λ©ge more application cases, application ₹>™©scenarios, application ​✔₽software, and application practic←®βes to emerge, and do a goΩ'¶≈od job in promoting and lea©α☆∏ding demonstrations, so that'€ 5G applications can emerge m₹✔ore extensively.

In addition, in the process of 5β≈₽G development, it is neceφ®↕ssary for all walks of life≤<γ to form a joint force and acc☆÷₽αommodate each other, so that the develo•→♠pment of 5G will maintai' ‌ n a leading position in ← ™technology and have more innova δφ♥tion. Here, while de♠★&veloping 5G, we should alsδ¥★÷o consider the evolution directi ∞✘≠on and technical rouδ★₹¶te of the next-generation co±≤mmunication technology, and¶  plan and deploy in advance for t♦₩↑↔he development of th÷​e next-generation communicat$εδ✔ion technology, that is, 6G.
