Editor's Note: China has witnessed rapid growth in a wide range of industries due to the advancement of internet and information technologies in recent years. China Daily reporters Cheng Yu, Liu Yukun and Ma Si interviewed top executives of well-known companies attending the Fifth World Internet Conference for their views on the prospects of China's internet sector and their key takeaways from this year's conference. Their answers to the following questions are given below.
If all Chinese people secured lower-cost or free internet access, the internet industry could see exponential growth in market scale, analysts said.
The European Union is China's biggest trading partner while China is the EU's second-largest trading partner. Landmark Chinese bridges, such as those in the ancient city of Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, better symbolize the current state of relationships between China and the EU and other trading partners.
Editor's Note: The rapidly evolving 5G telecom landscape, the emerging internet of things sphere, artificial intelligence and robotics are driving China's innovation push. This special report takes stock of the key topics that dominated the Fifth World Internet Conference.
Similar to Europe, free WiFi connections are also available in China. In cities and tourist sites, we find free hotspots in hotels, popular restaurants and cafés. Airports and large train stations in China, too, provide free WiFi connection, even if only subscribers to Chinese mobile operators can connect.
Malware attacks, especially on mobile devices, and phishing attempts by fraudulent websites are two major problems that need to be solved urgently for China to safeguard its cybersecurity, according to online security experts.
Government authorities, alongside experts from home and abroad, are calling for more international cooperation to promote the sustainable development of online public services and governance at the fifth World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.
Chinese telecom companies are seeking to maintain their lead in the global race for 5G commercialization.
China will target a large-scale commercial launch of 5G in the first half of 2020, prompting global telecom players to follow suit, ramp up their resource allocation and expand their businesses in the country, industry insiders said.
Zhejiang province's Wuzhen water town has been gaining global acclaim as a hub for technological innovation that's pushing internet development into the future - but its periphery is also increasing its profile as a rural destination hailing to the old days.
The buildings' traditional appearances wouldn't betray the reality that five of the hotel's rooms are equipped with artificial intelligence.
Wuzhen Zhicai Primary School's students are elated and attentive as they listen to their English teacher - who is thousands of kilometers away, in New Zealand.
