and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, will be held in

Guangzhou from November 26 to 28. The theme of the Convention is "5G+ By All for All ".

The World 5G Convention is the world's first international event in the 5G

field, and it was held in Beijing for the first time in 2019. The Convention

gathered experts and scholars as well as business executives from all over the

world to conduct in-depth discussions centering on the theme of "5G - Change

the World, Create the Future". Here is the list of the participants of the

opening ceremony: Cai Qi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central

Committee and Secretary of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee; Wang Yong,

State Councilor; Wang Zhigang, Minister of Ministry of Science and Technology

of the PRC; Miao Wei, former Minister of Ministry of Industry and Information

Technology of the PRC; and Lin Nianxiu, Deputy Director of the National

Development and Reform Commission of the PRC. It fully embodies the high

attention the Party and state leaders pay to 5G development.

The 2020 World 5G Convention will be held in Guangzhou, where it will gather

important and influential scientists in the global information and

communication field, world-renowned 5G service providers, and 5G industry

application providers to conduct exchanges and discussions on cutting-edge

technologies, industry trends, and innovative applications in the 5G field. The

Convention will fully reflect the traction of 5G in the world's new economic

form and the importance of 5G in the new dual-cycle development pattern and

highlight that 5G promotes the upgrading of traditional industries and a new

"smartly benefited" digital life, ,demonstrating the role and value of 5G

industry empowerment to the world.

5G application scenarios have sprung up like mushrooms

In the beginning of 2020, 5G had played a crucial role in the battle against

COVID-19 and the process of "back to work and production". 5G was applied in

remote education, remote medical services, pandemic control, remote work and

smart transportation. 5G application scenarios have sprung up like mushrooms

and gained explosive growth. People can already see how 5G benefits their daily

life in general. The development of the deep integration between 5G and other

sectors also further reveals its potential economic benefits and social benefits.

Statistics show that there are more than 690,000 5G base stations in China by

the end of September 2020, making 5G available in almost every city in China.

And the number of 5G terminals has exceeded 160 million. China Academy of

Information and Communications Technology predicts that the cumulative

investment in China's 5G network construction is potential to reach RMB 1.2

trillion by 2025. It will fuel the upstream and downstream industrial chain and

application investment in various industries to exceed RMB 3.5 trillion.

As of May this year, China had put 484 5G applications into operation in

real-life scenarios. In terms of industry segments, 5G has been first

implemented in fields such as smart health care, news media, smart city, the

Internet of Vehicles and the industrial Internet.

5G will benefit all humankind

While the 5G industry is booming in China, the unified global 5G standard has

led the deep integration of the international 5G industrial chain. The

development of the global mobile communications industry has already formed a

pattern of "each having something of the other": Enterprises of equipment,

terminals, chips and test instruments cooperate in order to achieve mutual

benefit and to seek 5G development and innovation. They lead 5G technological

progress through technological innovation, facilitate 5G technology maturity

through expanding application and promote 5G information sharing through

international cooperation. In addition, "deepening cooperation and opening up

for win-win results" will always be the theme of the 5G industry.

In the Plenary Session of the 23rd St. Petersburg International Economic Forum

President Xi Jinping called for joint efforts and win-win cooperation to face

the world's profound changes unseen in a century. China is willing to share its

latest research and development achievements including the 5G technology with

the rest of the world. In addition, China's 5G development has always been

guided by the principles of independent innovation, opening-up and cooperation.

We also attach importance to discussion, joint construction and sharing of 5G

development in the process.

China's 5G construction will bring revolutionary changes to domestic economic

and social development as well as production and life. It will also open the

door to the world and have demonstrative effect on the global mobile

communications industry. China is ready to actively absorb global wisdom,

cooperate with each other and make progress with concerted efforts.

The success of 5G stems from the joint efforts of the global industry. 5G will

also benefit all humankind and empower our life and industry. According to the

introduction released by the Organizing Committee of the World 5G Convention,

the Convention will be held in a new click-and-mortar way, consisting of an

opening ceremony, a main forum and summit forums.

The theme of the conference is "5G+, By All for All". The main forum is fully

focused on this theme, and other ten forums have elaborated on "5G+, By All for

All" from different perspectives. International guests and more than 60

overseas operation representatives will attend the forum. During the

Convention, an exhibition with an area of about 12,000 square meters will be

held from November 26 to 28.

5G will be promoted to empower the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao

Greater Bay Area

In the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay

Area issued by the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council in

February 2019, it is clearly stated that we should promote the new-generation

information technologies and develop them into new pillar industries, and

foster a number of major industrial projects in key areas such as new display

technologies, new-generation communication technologies, 5G and mobile Internet.

As one of the organizers of the Convention, Guangdong province has been

actively promoting the development of 5G industrial application. In 2019,

Guangdong Province issued the Guangdong Provincial Action Plan for Accelerating

the Development of 5G Industry (2019-2022), specifying the goal and direction

for the development of 5G industry. As one of the first 5G pilot cities in

China, Guangzhou attaches great importance to seizing the opportunity for the

rapid development of 5G, accelerating the cultivation of new business types,

new economies and new momenta, and creating new momentum led by science and

technology, so as to provide important support for Guangzhou to realize the

goal of "old city, new vitality".

The Convention will explore the new starting point, new directions and new

opportunities of 5G combining the development trend of the Guangdong-Hong

Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and taking account of the commercial implementation

process, promote the integration of 5G into all industries, and link all things

to benefit the public, and empower the construction of the Greater Bay Area.

The registration channel for participating the 2020 World 5G Convention and the

exhibition is now open. For details, please refer to the official website of
