During the investigation, the Prime Minister affirmed the development of the information and communication industry, and made it clear that the information and communication industry is the most important and basic industry, and it has a great supporting effect on the economic transformation and upgrading of our country.

This is a new era of information and communication industry in the economic and social development of the status, mission, mission, not only greatly inspired the morale of the industry, but also gave the industry a new mission, for the next step in the development of the industry to indicate the direction. In the first half of this year, China’s gross domestic product grew 6.9%, up 0.2% year-on-year, the highest value since the fourth quarter of 2015.

But this achievement, does not rely on the monetary loose and expands the investment the traditional powerful stimulation method, relies on accelerates the structural adjustment and the new old kinetic energy conversion, among them, the information communication industry contribution is huge. First of all, the rapid development of information and communication industry, is to promote the new and old kinetic energy conversion of the vanguard. In the first half of the year, China’s telecom revenue growth of 5.7%, the Internet and related services revenue year-on-year growth of 19.8%, software business revenue rose 13.2%. Optical fiber coverage of the world’s broadest, fiber-optic broadband users accounted for 81%, ranked first in the world, 4G of the world’s largest, 4G users accounted for 65% of mobile users, ranked the forefront of the world. The global Internet industry market value of ten, Chinese enterprises accounted for 3 seats, China’s 89 listed internet companies market value reached 7.24 trillion yuan, revenue growth rate of three consecutive years to 40%. Beacon Communications, ZTE and other enterprises operating revenue significantly increased, Huawei company to stabilize the global communications equipment manufacturers first. China has become the name of the world’s first mobile phone producer, Huawei, OPPO, Vivo and other Chinese mobile phone brand shipments into the world’s top five.

With the rapid development of information and communication industry, the volume is increasing, the proportion of GDP is more and more high, and the new kinetic energy of economic development is more and more strong. Second, the information and communication industry is driving force, is to promote the supply side structural reform of the main forces. The development of information and communication industry has greatly promoted the growth of information consumption, which makes the consumption of “troika” in economic development of our country become the primary factor to support economic development. 2016, China’s information consumption increased by 22% in 2015, China’s e-commerce turnover of 22.97 trillion yuan, an increase of 25.5%, mobile payment scale of 5.5 trillion U.S. dollars, is 50 times times the United States. In addition, in the new information and communication technology, new business model, the development of China’s digital economy is strong momentum. 2016 China’s digital economy amounted to 22.6 trillion yuan, the nominal growth of nearly 19%, the share of GDP more than 30%, up 2.8% year-on-year. Digital economy has become the core driving force of economic growth in recent years, and the contribution of China’s digital economy to GDP in 2016 is close to 70%.

In the future, in 2020, China’s digital economy will be more than 32 trillion yuan, accounting for 35% of GDP, by 2030, the digital economy will be more than 50% of GDP, China will fully enter the digital economic era. Thirdly, the penetration of information and communication technology is strong, and it is the accelerator of promoting industrial transformation and upgrading. With the infiltration of information and communication technology into all aspects of society, as well as the further development of “Internet +”, the transformation and innovation of traditional industries has brought about new opportunities. China’s manufacturing machine tool utilization efficiency is low, less than half of Europe and the United States. A project in Dalian, which was closely watched by Prime Minister Li Keqiang, used only 10 employees to link 30,000 machine tool data in the Northeast with 280,000 engineers nationwide, effectively helping industrial enterprises improve utilization of core equipment, And for the vast number of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to introduce Low-cost intelligent upgrade programs and services platform. The recent prime Minister inspected the Shaanxi Qinchuan Machine Tool Group, through the introduction of the “Internet +”, 98% of the large-scale machine tools are market-specific production, nearly 3/4 of the staff to participate in the formation of a dual-creation team, competing to provide customers with solutions. Mobile Internet, the depth of the network of things to support the sharing of the cycle of cycling, was once considered the sunset industry, the bicycle also ushered in a blowout. In just a year, the shared-bike business rose rapidly, raising hundreds of millions of of billions of dollars in venture capital and putting millions of bicycles on the streets of the city. Whether it is a bicycle company or a bicycle accessories manufacturers are full orders, the production line full load operation. In the first quarter of this year, the output of China’s two-wheeled bicycles rose 17%.

As Mobai and Ofo enter Singapore and other international markets, Chinese-made shared bicycles accelerate sales overseas. As the economy continues to stabilize, it is imperative that the information and communication industry continue to play a more important role in consolidating the economy towards a better situation. From the Prime Minister’s earnest entrust and earnest expectation, it is not difficult to see the new orientation and mission of the information and communication industry. The whole industry to understand deeply, Yong bear the task, accelerate the development, to promote the supply side reform as the main line, further promote the speed reduction fee, further supporting the “Internet +” and double creation, for the sustained and healthy economic development and the improvement of people’s living standards to make a new and greater contribution
