Frontline insights on China's industrial tech innovation push

La Ping, head of the network operations and maintenance team at the network department of the Xigaze branch of China Mobile Group Xizang Co

I have led my team across the snow-capped mountains, pastoral areas and border villages of Xigaze in the Xizang autonomous region. We protect every optical cable and every base station with our hearts. Communication is not just about making phone calls; it is a lifeline and a safety line for the people in border areas. By building new base stations, we have delivered China's 5G signal to the "Top of the World", allowing children in remote areas to enjoy higher-quality educational resources, which makes me feel very proud.
