The number of standard racks of computing power centers in use nationwide exceeded 8.8 million, and the total computing power scale increased by 16.5% compared with the end of last year. New integrated infrastructure has accelerated coverage, and a total of 55,000 5G virtual private networks have been built, covering key application scenarios such as industry, ports, and energy; 381 second-level industrial Internet identification resolution nodes have been built, and 506,000 enterprises have been connected; 2.66 billion mobile Internet of Things terminals have been built, accelerating the development towards "intelligent connection of all things".

4. Key industries operate smoothly. In 2024, the electronic information manufacturing industry will rebound and improve in an all-round way. Production growth accelerated, with the added value of large-scale computer, communications and other electronic equipment manufacturing industries increasing by 11.8%, an increase of 8.4 percentage points over the previous year. Imports and exports continued to rebound, with the total import and export of electronic information manufacturing industry reaching US$1.8 trillion, an increase of 6.4% year-on-year. The consumer electronics market has recovered in an all-round way, driving my country's mobile phone, microcomputer and color TV production to grow by 7.8%, 2.7% and 4.6% year-on-year. Driven by emerging businesses such as artificial intelligence and cloud platforms, the software industry achieved business revenue of 13.7 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10%. The communications industry completed business revenue of 1.74 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%, the total volume of telecommunications business increased by 10% year-on-year, and the Internet and related services industries operated smoothly.

5. New achievements have been made in high-quality development. We have implemented high-quality development actions for key industrial chains in depth and achieved a number of landmark achievements. For example, the original Hongmeng system was officially released, becoming the third largest mobile operating system in the world after IOS and Android. The industrial ecosystem continues to be improved, with the number of open source Hongmeng equipped with more than 1 billion devices and the number of open source Ora users exceeding 3.8 million, providing services to more than 150 countries and regions around the world. The industrial standard system is constantly optimized, and more than 40 key standards in the artificial intelligence industry have been formulated.

6. New industry momentum continues to increase. The "two double and two new" policy drives and the recovery of global market demand, fixed asset investment in the electronic information manufacturing industry has increased by 12% year-on-year. Emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and humanoid robots maintain a high investment and financing enthusiasm, and continue to inject vitality into industrial development. The innovation of artificial intelligence technology has made positive progress, the commercialization of large models has accelerated, and artificial intelligence has accelerated its integrated application in the fields of finance, government affairs, service and medical care, production and manufacturing, helping enterprises improve quality and efficiency. "Artificial Intelligence + Smart Hardware" has opened a new round of consumption space, and the proportion of AI mobile phone shipments has increased rapidly. The pace of digital enterprises to "go global" is accelerating, the internationalization level and global competitiveness of consumer electronics are constantly increasing, and digital technology service providers are actively developing markets along the "Belt and Road".
