wu jingjing:

thanks for the introduction from mr. li. next, let's have a q&a session. journalists can raise your hands to ask questions, and please introduce your organizations first.

china media group:

thank you, ms. wu. here is a question from china media group. this is the fourth time that the world 5g convention has been held in china and the first time that it has been held in heilongjiang. everyone is full of expectations. why is this convention held in the ice city? thank you.

fu jun, deputy secretary-general of future forum:

thank you for your question. the reason why the world 5g convention can be held in harbin is that the cpc heilongjiang provincial committee and the people's government of heilongjiang province attach great importance to the development of the digital economy, 5g technology and industry, as well as the international platform of the world 5g convention. we have noticed that heilongjiang has introduced a number of measures to develop the digital economy. secretary xu qin has repeatedly pointed out that the development of the digital economy was a major opportunity, emphasizing the need to fully recognize that the digital economy was a new economic form leading the future and the new blue ocean for economic transformation and development. governor hu changsheng pointed out that the development of the digital economy was an important way for heilongjiang to promote comprehensive and all-around revitalization. this year, domestic leading enterprises of the digital economy such as huawei, tencent and baidu have also settled in heilongjiang. we also noted that in the "14th five-year plan" for the development of the digital economy and supporting policies formulated and issued by heilongjiang, 5g and 5g are explicitly focused on, and comprehensive planning is carried out in terms of 5g infrastructure construction, 5g communication product manufacturing, and 5g industry application expansion. because of major opportunities hidden in the digital economy, we recognize the traction and cornerstone role of 5g in the digital economy. we also understand the important role of the world 5g conference as an industry benchmark and see its global influence. therefore, heilongjiang seized this opportunity and regarded the conference as an important platform for connecting 5g core resources and empowering the development of the digital economy in heilongjiang. we have striven with utmost sincerity to finally promote the settlement of this convention in heilongjiang.

holding the world 5g convention is an important opportunity for heilongjiang, and its settlement in heilongjiang is also an opportunity for the world 5g convention. as an old industrial base, a major agricultural province, a cultural tourism resort and an important hub of international economy and trade, heilongjiang has outstanding advantages in resources, industry, science and education and ecology. the digital industry is developing well and the new information infrastructure is relatively perfect. heilongjiang has typical enterprises in the fields of industry, mining and agriculture such as cfhi, longmay, and beidahuang group, with abundant industrial data resources and 5g fusion application scenarios, which provides a vast blue ocean for 5g development. it will also be a brand new opportunity for the world 5g convention. during the preparatory process, we've seen that 5g was accelerating the digital upgrading of all walks of life in heilongjiang, and also personally experienced the new vitality of the old base. we believe that the world 5g convention in heilongjiang will be a complete success.

harbin is a famous historical and cultural city in china, a world-famous city with ice and snow culture and a world music capital. with a cool and comfortable environment in summer, it is also one of the 20 summer resorts in the world. this 2022 world 5g convention will be held in the ice city in august. we believe that while witnessing an industrial technology feast, guests will also experience the diversified culture and unique charm of the beautiful heilongjiang and the north gate of china.

xinhua news agency:

hello everyone, i'm a reporter from xinhua news agency. heilongjiang is a traditional agricultural province in our opinion. why did you apply for such an international and professional world 5g convention? thank you.

lu yuchun, deputy director of heilongjiang development and reform commission:
thank you for your question and it's a pretty good question. heilongjiang is indeed a major agricultural province. as the "cornerstone" to maintain the food security of china, our grain output has stabilized at more than 75 billion kilograms, achieving "eighteen consecutive years of good harvests". the total grain output, commodity volume and transfer-out volume have ranked first in china for many years. one-ninth of china's grains come from heilongjiang province. heilongjiang has 257.9 million mu (17.19 million hectares) of cultivated land, ranking first in china. its vast black land is known as the "giant panda in cultivated land". after years of efforts, the comprehensive mechanization rate of farming and harvest in our province has reached 98%. scientific and technological agriculture, green agriculture, quality agriculture and brand agriculture have developed rapidly, becoming the vanguard of agricultural modernization in china and effectively safeguarding the food security of china.

heilongjiang is not only a major agricultural province but also an important old industrial base in china. during the "first five-year plan" period, 25 enterprises and 22 key projects were relocated from south to north. as a result, many large enterprises such as cfhi known as the "national treasure of the prc", jianlong beiman special steel co., ltd., "two machine tools", "three powers" and "top ten military industries" known as the "beloved ones of the prc" were born here. the development of daqing oilfield has enabled the new china to shake off the label of "being lack of oil" in one stroke, with a stable output of more than 50 million tons for 27 consecutive years and a cumulative crude oil production of over 2.4 billion tons. this achievement has created a new record in the development of similar oilfields in the world. these enterprises have laid a solid foundation for heilongjiang as an old industrial base in china. after long-term development and improvement, the industrial system in heilongjiang has embarked on a road of development from single to comprehensive, traditional to emerging industries. at present, we have formed an industrial system covering complete product categories, including 40 major categories, 162 medium categories and 364 subcategories. we've created many "firsts in china", including the first helicopter, the first analog computer, the first arc welding robot, the first 10,000-ton hydraulic press, the first vertical hydropower unit, and the world's first satellite-rocket integrated aircraft. we have made contributions to shenzhou crewed spacecraft, china's lunar exploration project, the launch of an aircraft carrier, china's deep-sea manned submersible "jiaolong" and china's mars probe "tianwen-1".

in particular, the cpc heilongjiang provincial committee and the people's government of heilongjiang province have attached great importance to the development of the digital economy, fully implemented the spirit of general secretary xi jinping's important instructions on developing the digital economy, firmly grasped the development trend of information technology of the new generation, and seized the new opportunities of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. the 13th party congress of heilongjiang province has made a decision to take the digital economy as a new engine for economic development of heilongjiang and create a new blue ocean for the digital economy, marking a new chapter in the development of the digital economy in heilongjiang province.

the world 5g convention is the world's first international event in the field of 5g and a platform for exchanges and cooperation of internationalization, high-end and specialization. it will showcase the technological product innovation of the 5g industry comprehensively and build a communication bridge for cross-regional industrial collaboration and linkage. as the host city of the grand event, heilongjiang will invite top talents, leaders in the industry and people from all walks of life at home and abroad to exchange new technologies, get new enlightenment, carry out new cooperative projects, and discuss the development plan of 5g. this is a rare opportunity for heilongjiang to develop the digital economy. we will take this grand event as an opportunity to strengthen our communication and cooperation with the world's top experts and entrepreneurs in the field of the digital economy, empower the industrial transformation and upgrading with digital technology, and promote new industries, formats, and models. our goal is to support heilongjiang to forge ahead on a new journey, create new success, and achieve comprehensive and all-round revitalization.

people's daily online:

thank you, ms. wu. here is a question from people's daily online. what are the practical and potential advantages of heilongjiang as one of the hosts and organizers of this world 5g convention? thank you.

zhang changbin, head of department of science and technology of heilongjiang province:
thank all of you for your long-term concern and support for scientific and technological work!

as the host of this convention, we have many advantages, such as stable 5g infrastructure and a solid industrial foundation. we have rich application scenarios in agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and other fields, and we have also issued a series of policies to support the development of the digital economy. the most prominent advantage is the superiority of scientific and educational resources. it is mainly reflected in three aspects.
first, we have abundant scientific and educational resources. we have 78 colleges and universities such as harbin institute of technology, harbin engineering university and northeast forestry university, and 125 independent research institutes such as the 49th research institute of china electronics technology group corporation, no.703 research institute of china state shipbuilding corporation limited (cssc) and heilongjiang academy of sciences, including 18 state institutes directly under the cpc central committee and 21 provincial institutes. 38 colleges and universities have set up majors in the field of digital economy such as data science, electronic information and artificial intelligence (ai). heilongjiang has also accumulated fruitful scientific and technological achievements. according to our statistics at the beginning of the year, heilongjiang has 4,873 relevant invention patents in the field of the digital economy, including 529 items of digital economy achievements recorded in the achievement library of the provincial science and technology achievement transformation center alone. these patents, once commercialized, will definitely generate great benefits. we are making every effort to industrialize scientific and technological achievements.

second, adequate talent supply. at present, heilongjiang boasts 40 academicians from the chinese academy of sciences and chinese academy of engineering, as well as 112 persons selected into the "special support program for high-level talent of china". in the digital economy field alone, there are 13 academicians and 32 persons included in the program. according to statistics at the beginning of the year, heilongjiang province operates 12 doctoral programs, 36 master's programs and 55 undergraduate programs related to the digital economy, in which 2,000 doctoral students, 8,154 master's students and 9,770 undergraduate students, totaling nearly 20,000 students, are trained. additionally, there are more than 35,000 majors related to the digital economy in higher vocational schools across the province. these students constitute a huge talent pool for the development of the 5g industry.

third, numerous support platforms. heilongjiang is home to 661 scientific and technological innovation bases and platforms, 297 key laboratories, and 356 engineering technology research centers, nearly one-tenth of which are related to the digital economy. in addition, there are 10 new r&d institutions and 5 industry-university-research-application alliances in the digital economy field. harbin—china's cloud valley, huawei kunpeng ecological innovation center, digital research institute of heilongjiang branch of china unicom, harbin institute of technology institute for artificial intelligence and other institutions have significantly empowered the development of the digital economy, demonstrating a more sound platform system for innovative development of the 5g sector.
it was clarified to build an "innovative heilongjiang" and deploy key tasks about tackling scientific and technological problems in the digital economy field at the 13th party congress of heilongjiang province. the department of science and technology of heilongjiang province is formulating the three-year action plan for tackling scientific and technological problems in the digital economy of heilongjiang province, so as to incorporate scientific and technological innovation into the digital industrial chain. key r&d projects will be implemented with an integrated approach throughout the entire design chain, specifically targeting core technologies, core components, and equipment development related to 5g. we will support pillar enterprises in the 5g field to improve their independent innovation capabilities, cooperate with universities and research institutes to tackle technological problems in weak links of the industrial chain such as advanced process control (apc), high-frequency devices, dedicated chips and software development, strengthen the source supply of 5g technology, promote the integration of 5g technology with ai, cloud computing, edge computing and other advanced technologies, and accelerate digital empowerment and scenario applications.

we will make full use of the important opportunity brought by the 2022 world 5g convention to tap scientific and technological potential and stimulate innovation potential, so that scientific and technological innovation can become the biggest contributor to revitalization and development!

thank you!

heilongjiang daily:

thank you! good afternoon, everyone. i'm a reporter from heilongjiang daily. we noticed that xu qin, secretary of the cpc heilongjiang provincial committee, proposed to build a new blue ocean for the digital economy in the report on the 13th party congress of heilongjiang province. may i know the provincial government's considerations and arrangements for the development of a 5g-led digital economy?

han xuesong, head of the department of industry and information technology of heilongjiang province:

thank you for your question, and thank all media present for your attention and support to the development of the digital economy in heilongjiang. the cpc heilongjiang provincial committee and the people's government of heilongjiang province attach great importance to the development of the digital economy. they formulated and issued the 14th five-year plan for the development of the digital economy in heilongjiang province, with 20 effective supporting policies incorporating meticulous deployment for the development of the digital economy. the plan clarified the need to give full play to the leading role of 5g, so as to promote the high-quality development of heilongjiang's digital economy. the 2022 world 5g convention will be held in heilongjiang, providing a rare opportunity to link the core resources of 5g and empower the development of heilongjiang's digital economy. we will make full use of this high-end platform to empower the development of heilongjiang's digital economy. specifically, we will make new breakthroughs in three aspects.

first, focus on digital industrialization and build a "new track" for development. to this end, efforts will be made in three areas. firstly, efforts will be made to foster and expand the manufacturing of digital products. upholding the principle of "creating new things and updating old things", we will carry out chain extension, supplementation and reinforcement projects. we will focus on 10 competitive digital product manufacturing industrial chains including integrated circuits, sensors, wearable devices, virtual reality (vr), information communication and satellite manufacturing, and accelerate the implementation of a batch of major projects. in addition, efforts will be made to optimize and strengthen software development and information technology service. we will focus on 10 key areas such as basic software, industrial software, application software, emerging platform software, cloud computing, big data and metaverse, aiming to accelerate the cultivation of "professional, sophisticated, distinctive and innovative" backbone enterprises. furthermore, efforts will be made to accelerate the upgrading of infrastructure. by 2025, the province will make the 5g network accessible to its central cities, key parks, transportation hubs, and popular tourist attractions. we will expand the coverage of mobile iot and accelerate the construction of sensing terminals in cities, communities and villages. we will also build a hub of the national integrated computing network to meet the needs of processing massive "5g " application data and consolidate the foundation for digital economy development.

second, focus on industrial digitization to generate "new momentum" of development. through the intelligent transformation of manufacturing, agriculture, tourism and other traditional advantageous industries of heilongjiang, we aim to accelerate the integration of digital technologies such as 5g with the real economy, and promote "empowerment in three aspects". firstly, 5g empowers the digital transformation of industry. we will carry out the demonstration and promotion of "5g industrial internet", encouraging industrial enterprises to implement intranet renovation through 5g technology. this will promote the application of 5g in core production and manufacturing links, thus creating a group of benchmarks for the digital transformation of manufacturing for the country. addtionally, 5g empowers agricultural modernization. we will promote the "integration of digital technology and agricultural production and pilot unmanned smart farms. this will help us develop a more intelligent agricultural production mode, empower agriculture with digital means, and particularly build a national forerunner area for the digitalization of the agricultural industry. furthermore, 5g empowers smart ecotourism. heilongjiang possesses not only ice and snow but also lucid waters and lush mountains. we will develop experiential tourism consumption projects based on 5g, ar/vr and other immersive technologies, promote the digitalization and platformization of tourism products and services, and build a national forerunner area for smart eco-tourism and a preferred destination for intelligent livability and healthcare.

third, focus on win-win cooperation and gather "new partners". under the guidance of the cpc heilongjiang provincial committee and the people's government of heilongjiang province, heilongjiang's digital economy is booming. as you may have noticed, front-runners of the digital economy such as huawei, tencent, zte and baidu have flocked to heilongjiang lately. harbin has become one of the first choices for digital enterprises. the new drivers of the digital economy are quickly assembled in heilongjiang. by virtue of the international high-end industries, technologies and interpersonal network gathered by the world 5g convention, we have planned and launched investment and talent attraction activities in advance. in relevant negotiations and exchanges, enterprises expressed optimism about heilongjiang's potential to develop the digital economy, and confidence in building heilongjiang into a cross-border digital cooperation center in northeast asia. up to now, we have more than 100 digital economy projects under negotiation. especially, the negotiations and exchanges with leading enterprises on the acceleration and expansion of 5g new infrastructure and the landing of information technology innovation projects are very smooth. we will hold a contract-signing ceremony during the world 5g convention. hereby, i sincerely invite all sectors of society, especially people engaged in the digital economy, to visit heilongjiang and experience firsthand the business opportunities and atmosphere of our growing digital economy. let's seize development opportunities and seek win-win cooperation.
