On the morning of March 8, ™β>after the second plenary session of the§™ Fifth Session of the 13←☆♥¥th National People's>γ < Congress, the "ministerial cα≠★•hannel" was opened, and some of the β☆responsible persons o✔$∏f relevant ministries a♣π&nd commissions of the State Council w ₹ε™ere invited to accept onlπσ≤ine video interviews.

Since the commercial use of 5♣±₽G, many enterprises haveσ  regarded the use and development of $φ'5G technology as an 䮥important opportunity §εδ. How does the Ministry ofε☆÷× Industry and Information Technology λ<$view accelerating the develδ§opment of 5G this year?

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and ♦‌★∞Information Technology, said that←← the development of 5G now has a ±¥‍very good foundation. On the↕© one hand, there is network co★ε×nstruction. China's 5G ne">γ‌twork is now the world's le  ♣ading and largest. The total ÷φnumber of base stations exceeded 1.α$425 million, and the actual number of±♥±δ connected users exceeded 500 million÷↓. Everyone also felt the conveni"♦∞ence of life and work. Many applica≠↓tion scenarios are emergin♦€g. For example, the Beiji₹πng Winter Olympics, whichφ$≈↔ has just been successfully helα©★→d, has made the applicati™™α∑on of 5G technology richer for peop≠←↔σle who cannot be there in£&✔ person. The next thing is tλ"o work on the base station, and now it×↑¥'s not enough.

In addition, it is necessary to fu'Ωαrther expand and enric£≠•Ωh the application scenarios to f₩≈€↔acilitate everyone&a&™pos;s work and life. We al<​☆so encourage more appl¥​↕ication cases, application sce×&₽narios, application softwar♥β±♦e, and application practices to emerg<π÷₩e, and do a good job in promoti☆₩→ng and leading demonstrati÷✘ons, so that 5G appliε♦‌cations can emerge m≈¥ore extensively.

In addition, in the proc'♠☆ess of 5G development∏™, it is necessary for all wa&×÷αlks of life to form ¥‍✔<a joint force and accommodat≥€•e each other, so that t™♥↔¥he development of 5G will maintai <≠n a leading position in technolog$¥δ✔y and have more inno"™vation. Here, while develo‌‍ping 5G, we should also consider the ≠ evolution direction and technical ro∞←δ✘ute of the next-generation comm¶δ₹unication technology, and ​↕≥'plan and deploy in advance≥‍∞≈ for the development of the"✘ next-generation communicati↕π§ on technology, that is, 6G ☆".
