China's optical broadband access ranks first in the world

At the sixth World Internet Conference held here, the China Internet development report 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the report) compiled by China Academy of cyberspace was officially released. According to the report, more than 90% of China's broadband users use optical fiber access, ranking first in the world. As of June 2019, the number of optical fiber access users reached 396 million, accounting for 91% of the total Internet broadband access users.

According to the report, China continues to promote the construction of information infrastructure, and the network performance has been significantly improved. At present, China's fixed Internet broadband access users continue to move to high-speed, and the mobile Internet develops rapidly. The total number of mobile communication base stations is 7.32 million, including 4.45 million 4G base stations. With the issuance of 5g business license in June this year, China officially entered the first year of 5g business. At the same time of the continuous optimization and upgrading of information infrastructure, the independent innovation ability of China's network information technology is also increasing.

In 2018, China's cloud computing scale has reached 96.3 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), and the big data industry scale has reached 540.5 billion yuan, up 39.2% and 15% year-on-year respectively. The Internet, big data and artificial intelligence are constantly integrated with the real economy, and the digital economy has become a new engine of economic growth. According to the report, in 2018, China's digital economy reached 31.3 trillion yuan, accounting for 34.8% of GDP. At the same time, taking information infrastructure construction, innovation ability, digital economy and network security as indicators, the report released the comprehensive ranking of China's Internet development index in 2019, with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Zhejiang ranking the top four.

According to the report, the international environment of cyberspace is undergoing profound changes, and the international governance of cyberspace has entered an important transition period. The existing international governance mechanism has been difficult to adapt to the rapid development of the Internet and the form of international governance, and the vulnerability and uncertainty of cyberspace are further revealed. China is also facing many challenges: international governance is more severe and complex, and the game of big countries in cyberspace is very colorful. Some countries even take information technology and product services as an important means to attack and contain other countries, which aggravates the problem of cyberspace confrontation threat and fragmentation. According to the report, it is an important mission for China to deeply participate in the international governance of cyberspace to build a digital world of mutual trust and governance with other countries. Facing the future, we should promote international cooperation and exchange in cyberspace, focus on the "four principles" of global Internet governance system reform and the "five points" of building a community with a shared future in cyberspace, and promote the construction of a more just and reasonable global Internet governance system.
