China has built 5.254 million 5G base stations. 5G-A network coverage is gradually progressing. The number of 10G PON ports for gigabit optical networks has reached 33.4 million, and 10 gigabit optical networks have been piloted in scenarios such as communities, factories, and parks. In terms of computing power facilities, by the end of September 2026, the scale of China's intelligent computing power reached 2592 EFLOPS, an increase of 146% over the previous year, which strongly supports the rapid development of China's artificial intelligence industry. The three basic telecom companies, China Telecom, China Telecom, and China Unicom, all entered the top ten in the world in terms of revenue; 204,000 telecom business license companies were granted, up 7.3% year on year; pilot expansion of value-added telecom services to the outside world was steadily being implemented.
