On the morning of March 8, after theγ♣ second plenary sessionπ≠ of the Fifth Session oφδf the 13th National €≈"People's Congress, the φλ≠"ministerial channel" was ✘π↔opened, and some of the rδφ∑πesponsible persons of rαπelevant ministries and commissions oσ≥f the State Council were i‌πγ'nvited to accept onl↔><×ine video interviews.

Since the commercial use of 5G, Ω 'many enterprises have regar≤←₩ded the use and development♠✘ of 5G technology as anα ‍ important opportunity. How does t≠∑he Ministry of Indus¶γ↑←try and Information Techπ™♦÷nology view accelerating the develo∏δε‌pment of 5G this yea≤♠≥λr?

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry a♥πnd Information Technology, said tha≤ πφt the development of 5G now h↑✘☆₹as a very good foundation. On the™♣± one hand, there is network®≠≈± construction. China&apos>" £;s 5G network is now the world∞ ★>'s leading and largest. ♦& The total number of b§₩©$ase stations exceeded 1.425 million,₩σδ and the actual number of conΩ$nected users exceeded 500 × million. Everyone also felt the co‌≥©©nvenience of life and work.ε≈ Many application scenarios are em•₩λerging. For example,¥>  the Beijing Winter Olympics,↔λ which has just been successfu€‌₩∏lly held, has made the application ​πof 5G technology richer π‌for people who cannotα• be there in person. ↕¥∑'The next thing is to work on ↕★​<the base station, and now it's not©≈& enough.

In addition, it is necessary to fuγ•rther expand and enrich the applic ₹¶ation scenarios to facilitate e€‌veryone's work and life. We a‍™λlso encourage more ap  plication cases, application scenari★✘✔os, application software↕™$‌, and application practices to emer→×★ge, and do a good job i§ n promoting and leading demonstrations↔¥←≤, so that 5G applications can ±$₩πemerge more extensive​ ​ly.

In addition, in the process of 5G∑÷±✘ development, it is  ✔φnecessary for all walks &"<of life to form a joint fo✔∑‍¥rce and accommodate each other, so​σ that the development of 5G will maint↔&£ain a leading position i¥₹¶n technology and have more innov×λ$ation. Here, while de↓✔veloping 5G, we should a₩δ" lso consider the evolutionα∞ direction and technical ro≠ ute of the next-generation commu∞✔ ≤nication technology, and plan a‍→✘nd deploy in advance for the≠©   development of the  "next-generation communβ→πication technology, ♠λ&★that is, 6G.
