“Internet Plus”, published by the ministry of industry and information
technology (MIIT) on Monday, the country has also plannned to install
fibre optics in more than 80 percent of its villages, the China Daily
reported.
With regard to the upgrading of network
infrastructure, the ministry set the target of “basically completing a
broadband-based, integrated, ubiquitous and secure next-generation
national information infrastructure.”
To achieve this, China will channel more
energy into the promotion of 4G, and boost research and development of
5G, according to the action plan.
The plan will integrate mobile internet,
cloud computing, big data and the Internet of Things with modern
manufacturing to encourage the healthy development of e-commerce,
industrial networks, and internet banking, and to help internet
companies increase their international presence.
