According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of September, China has built and opened a total of 3.189 million 5G base stations, 737 million 5G mobile phone users, over 20000 virtual private networks in the 5G industry, and 42% of the world's required 5G standard patent declarations. This eye-catching transcript marks the accelerated integration of the new generation of information technology, represented by 5G, into various sectors of China's economy and society, becoming a key support for the smooth circulation of data resources and an important engine for leading the intelligent, green, and integrated transformation and upgrading of industries. With the joint efforts of all parties, China has built the world's largest and technologically advanced 5G network. 5G applications have been widely integrated into 67 out of 97 major categories of the national economy, with over 7000 "5G+Industrial Internet" projects nationwide and a total of 2.22 billion mobile IoT terminals. The role of 5G in "empowering", "assigning value", and "empowering intelligence" is constantly being demonstrated. Promoting the development of 5G faces new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements, and new strategic environment. At the recently held 2023 China 5G Development Conference, Zhang Yunming, a member of the Party Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that it is necessary to continue to strengthen the foundation and further consolidate network capabilities; Continuously seeking innovation and further enhancing endogenous motivation; Continuously promoting integration and further gathering application forces; Continuously increasing consensus and further tapping into cooperation potential. Zhang Yunming emphasized the need to accelerate the evolution and commercial deployment of 5G lightweight (RedCap) technology, continue to conduct 5G new technology testing and verification, and accelerate the promotion of industrial maturity. At the same time, we need to promote the large-scale and diversified development of 5G applications, strengthen departmental cooperation and provincial linkage, and promote deep integration of 5G with vertical industries. Commercial 5G has basically spread globally, and network construction and market development have accelerated. "Gong Ke, former chairman of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations and executive director of the China New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy Research Institute, said that as of the end of September, the global 5G network population coverage rate had reached 36.8%, with 59 countries and regions having a 5G network population coverage rate of over 50%, and the global 5G users had reached 1.428 billion, with China's 5G users accounting for more than half. In Gong Ke's view, the large-scale development of the 5G industry must rely on dual wheel drive on the demand side and supply side. To this end, he suggested implementing classified strategies to expand industry breadth, promote large-scale replication of application scenarios, accelerate the implementation of integrated terminals, and promote the construction of 5G factories to go deeper and more practical; Gradually introduce 5G incremental, replacement, and transformation applications, promoting the large-scale penetration of applications from peripheral links to core links. At the same time, accelerate the integration of 5G with industry systems and equipment products, and build a scalable 5G integration application, network, and terminal integration product system that can be promoted; Strengthen the construction of cross industry integration standard system, and build a standard implementation system of "standard formulation+laboratory technology verification+field adaptation verification". This year marks the end of the "5G Application Sailing Action Plan (2021-2023)". In order to do a good job in summarizing and evaluating the work, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched the "Sailing City" evaluation of 5G applications at the 2023 China 5G Development Conference
