Against the backdrop of the accelerated development of the digital economy, China's digital infrastructure construction has been continuously advanced and achieved remarkable results. Relevant data shows that by 2025, China's general computing power is expected to grow by 20%, and the scale of intelligent computing power by 43%, ranking second in the world, only after the United States. In the past five years, the total computing power scale has grown at an annual rate of around 30%.
In terms of the scale of key infrastructure, compared with 2020, the total number of 5G base stations in China has increased fivefold to 4.55 million, achieving a wider range of signal coverage. The number of gigabit broadband users has grown even more rapidly, with an increase of 34 times. The total number of users has exceeded 226 million, laying a network foundation for the popularization of digital applications such as high-definition video and smart home. In the field of computing power, China's total computing power scale has risen to the second place in the world, becoming an important computing power base supporting the development of the digital industry.
The advancement of digital infrastructure has also deeply driven the coordinated development of the industrial chain. Liu Liehong pointed out that investment in digital infrastructure not only creates significant market demand but also boosts the all-round development of the upstream and downstream of the information and communication industry chain, from core integrated circuits to communication network equipment and computers From servers to various terminal products, the entire information and communication manufacturing system has been further improved in this process, fostering an advanced and complete industrial ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the cutting-edge deployment and technological iteration of digital infrastructure have also provided strong support for the emergence of new business forms and models. Under its impetus, applications in areas such as online shopping, online education, and telemedicine, which are related to people's livelihood, have been continuously deepened. Integrated applications like 5G and industrial Internet have been accelerating their penetration into all aspects of production and manufacturing, constantly expanding new scenarios for the digital economy The new space has injected strong impetus into high-quality economic development.
