In the first half of the year, the industrial economy recovered well, the development of informatization was stable, the pace of high-quality development in the manufacturing industry was significantly accelerated, and positive results were achieved in promoting new industrialization. On July 19, the State Administration for Industry and Information Technology held a press conference on the development of industry and informatization in the first half of 2023. Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated at the conference that although facing challenges such as insufficient demand and declining efficiency, the industrial economy has strong resilience, The overall recovery trend has not changed. Specifically, in the first half of this year, the added value of industries above designated size increased by 3.8% year-on-year, industrial investment increased by 8.9% year-on-year, and exports of "new three types", including new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and solar cells, increased by 61.6% year-on-year; Telecom business revenue increased by 6.2%, with 676 million 5G mobile phone users and over 2.12 billion mobile IoT terminal users. The information and communication industry is related to people's livelihoods. Zhao Zhiguo introduced that in the first half of the year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the development of 19 standards, including the "Evaluation Specification for Protection of App User Rights and Interests"; Organize 1735 websites and apps to complete aging and barrier free transformation; Intercepting junk information over 9 billion times; More than 70 major Internet enterprises were encouraged to sign the Convention on the Publicity and Transparency of Internet Platform Rules and standardize the healthy and sustainable development of the Platform economy. At the meeting, the latest 5G transcript was released: as of the end of June, the cumulative number of 5G base stations in China reached 2.937 million; The world's first 5G cross network roaming trial commercial launch, accelerating the development of 5G networks towards intensive, efficient, green, and low-carbon; 5G applications have been integrated into 60 major categories of the national economy, with a cumulative number of application cases exceeding 50000; The industrial internet identity analysis system serves over 270000 enterprises and has over 240 influential industrial internet platforms. The digital economy is booming, and large models are constantly emerging. With computing power as the foundation, it has attracted widespread attention. Zhao Zhiguo introduced that China's total computing power scale ranks second in the world, maintaining an annual growth rate of about 30%, and intelligent computing power accounts for more than half of the newly added computing power facilities; We have selected typical cases of 77 national new data centers to promote the application of a batch of new technologies such as liquid cooling and prefabrication. At the same time, China's computing industry has made many breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies, and continued to iterate and upgrade high computing chips such as large model training and reasoning. Multi Heterogeneous computing technology has accelerated its popularity, and the output of computing products such as servers, computers and smart phones has led the world. According to Tao Qing, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau, since the beginning of this year, China's manufacturing industry has shown a good momentum of intelligent transformation, with new manufacturing models moving from conceptual frameworks to implementation, and international cooperation in intelligent manufacturing continues to deepen.
