Huang Libin said that the industrial and information systems have overcome the impact of unfavorable factors such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the industrial economy has achieved a good momentum of stable recovery, and the information and communication industry has developed steadily, which has the following four characteristics:

First, the industrial growth rate has picked up steadily. Steadily promote the resumption of work and production of various enterprises, coordinate and break through the breakpoints and blockages of the industrial chain and supply chain, the production order of the industrial communication industry is quickly restored, and the industrial chain and supply chain are generally stable. In the first three quarters, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 1.2% year-on-year, of which it decreased by 8.4% in the first quarter, and increased by 4.4% and 5.8% in the second and third quarters respectively, showing a good trend of continuous and steady recovery.

The second is the development and growth of new business forms and new models. Accelerating the transformation of new and old kinetic energy and industrial transformation and upgrading, the high-tech industry has a good growth momentum. The added value of high-tech manufacturing in the first three quarters increased by 5.9% year-on-year. Since March, the average monthly growth rate has reached 9%. The epidemic has spawned the development of new business forms and new models, and industries such as telecommuting and online education have expanded rapidly. Intelligent and upgraded products maintained rapid growth, and the production growth rate of 3D printing equipment, smart watches, service robots and other products all accounted for more than 70%. Big data, cloud computing and other industries are in the ascendant. In the first three quarters, the revenue of software and information technology services increased by 11% year-on-year, of which revenue from big data services and cloud services increased by 16% and 7% respectively.

Thirdly, the effect of helping enterprises to bail out has shown. We will increase fiscal, taxation, financial and other policy support to assist enterprises in their rescue and development. In the first eight months, the operating income profit margin of industrial enterprises above designated size gradually recovered to 5.79%, an increase of 1.85 percentage points and 0.37 percentage points over the first quarter and the first half of the year, respectively. Give full play to the role of the coordination mechanism for promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises at all levels, and promote the implementation of various policies that benefit enterprises.

At the end of the month, a total of 690,000 5G base stations were built, and the cumulative number of terminal connections has exceeded 160 million. Personal application scenarios such as ultra-high-definition video, cloud games, mobile cloud, and VR are gradually enriched, and vertical industry practices such as medical care, energy, and autonomous driving are continuously deepened.

In general, with the in-depth progress of the "six stability" and "six guarantees" measures and tasks, my country's industrial communication industry has been steadily improving as a whole, and the main operating indicators are better than expected, providing strong support for the stable operation of the macro economy. At present, my country's industrial economy is still in the recovery period affected by the impact of the epidemic, the foundation for the continuous recovery of the industrial economy is still further consolidated, and the stable operation of the industrial communication industry still faces many risks and challenges. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will, in accordance with the overall deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, implement the tasks set forth in the "Government Work Report", take the promotion of supply-side structural reform as the main line, fully tap the potential of domestic demand and deepen reform and opening up, and strive to nurture the crisis. The new machine will open up a new situation in the changing situation, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other, and promote the stable development of the industrial communication industry.
