Yanchun:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the press conference of the State Council Information Office. Today, we are very pleased to invite Mr. Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of industry and information technology, to introduce the development of industrial communication industry in the first half of 2019 and answer questions from journalists. Also present at today's press conference were Mr. Huang Libin, Director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and spokesperson, and Mr. Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and spokesperson. Next, I would like to give an introduction to Mr. Xin Guobin.
Xin Guobin:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the press. Welcome to today's press conference. Next, I would like to briefly introduce the development of China's industry and communication industry in the first half of this year.
Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complex and changeable internal and external environment and downward pressure on economic operation, relevant departments in all regions have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the Central Economic work Conference and the deployment of the "Government work report." in accordance with the eight-character policy of "consolidation, enhancement, promotion, and smooth flow" and the requirements of "six stability", we regard the promotion of high-quality development of the manufacturing industry as an important support for steady growth, in the first half of the year, the overall operation of the industrial economy was stable and steady, and the development momentum of the information and communication industry was stable, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Industrial production remained basically stable. In the first half of the year, the added value of industries above designated size nationwide increased by 6% year-on-year, which was within the expected target range of annual growth; among them, the added value of manufacturing increased by 6.4 year-on-year.
The conversion of new and old kinetic energy is advanced in an orderly manner. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9%, 3 percentage points higher than that of all manufacturing industries. Investment in technological transformation in the manufacturing industry increased by 13.1, 10.1 percentage points higher than that of all manufacturing investment. The output of new industrial products with high technological content and added value maintained double-digit growth.
Private enterprises small and medium-sized enterprises operating conditions improved. We will implement inclusive tax cuts for small and micro enterprises, reduce the value-added tax rate, reduce the burden of social security contributions, help enterprises to travel light and stimulate development vitality. In the first half of the year, the added value of private enterprises above designated size and small and medium-sized industrial enterprises increased by 8.7 and 8.1 respectively.
The information and communication industry has increased its role in supporting the economy and society. According to the constant price of the previous year, the total volume of telecommunications business increased by 25.7. The 5G license was officially issued on June 6. The average tariff for mobile network traffic and the average tariff for broadband for small and medium-sized enterprises continue to decrease. Software and information technology services business revenue growth of 16%.
However, it should also be noted that the current industrial economic operation is still facing many unstable and uncertain factors, the trend of differentiation between industries and regions has intensified, the growth rate of industrial product exports has fallen more, and the pressure of stable industrial growth is still greater. In the second half of the year, all relevant departments in all regions should follow the overall deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council for this year's economic work, adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and implement the eight-character policy of "consolidation, enhancement, promotion, and smooth flow" and the requirements of "six stability"., Make every effort to do a good job in the field of industrial communications, and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the the People's Republic of China with outstanding achievements.
Next, my colleagues and I are willing to answer your questions. Thank you all.
Yanchun:
Thank you Mr. Xin Guobin for your introduction. Now let's move on to the question-and-answer session. Before asking questions, please inform your news organization. Please ask questions.
CCTV reporter:
The main data of economic operation in the first half of the year have been released by the National Bureau of Statistics. How does the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology evaluate the highlights of China's industrial economic situation in the first half of the year, what are the policy effects, and what difficulties and pressures still exist in the economic operation? Thank you.
Xin Guobin:
In my opening remarks just now, I made a brief introduction to the operation of the industrial economy in the first half of the year. I would like to further summarize it in five sentences: first, the overall economic operation is stable and in line with expectations; second, positive progress has been made in optimizing the supply structure and strengthening the foundation; third, leading by high and new technology and strong momentum; fourth, reducing costs and increasing efficiency to help small and micro businesses; fifth, maintaining pressure in stability and being organic in danger.
Overall stable, in line with expectations, refers to the counter-cyclical macro-control led by the first half of the main industrial operation indicators of stable performance, better than expected. The growth rate of industrial value added above designated size was 6%, which is at the upper limit of the expected target of 5.5 to 6% for the whole year. At the beginning of the year, we anticipated the performance of the industrial economy for the whole year, and we believe that maintaining a 5.5 to 6 per cent is an acceptable indicator. From the first half of the year, the overall industrial economic growth was 6%. Among the 41 major industrial sectors, 39 industries maintained growth in production, and more than half of the industries accelerated their growth. Although the monthly data fluctuated due to some objective factors and the base of the same period last year, none of them affected the overall situation of smooth operation.
Optimizing supply and strengthening the foundation refers to promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry as an important support for steady growth, consolidating the achievements of steel and other industries to reduce production capacity, implementing major equipment to make up for shortcomings and other strong foundation projects, and continuously promoting industrial transformation and upgrading development. In the first half of the year, the growth rate of the added value of the raw materials industry accelerated by 3.2 percentage points year-on-year, and the capacity utilization rate of the steel and non-ferrous metal industries reached 80.2 and 79.7 respectively. This is also a goal we pursue.
In the first half of the year, the investment in technological transformation of the manufacturing industry increased by 13.1 year-on-year, 10.1 percentage points higher than the total investment in the manufacturing industry. In the previous stage, I went to Shanghai and Suzhou to conduct a survey. Shanghai's industrial investment has been above double digits for 15 consecutive months. In the first half of this year, Shanghai's industrial investment growth rate remained at about 17%. Investment in biomedicine, green chemical industry, automobile manufacturing and other fields has increased by nearly 50%, and some have exceeded 50%. Industrial investment in Suzhou also maintained a high growth rate, with industrial investment increasing by 13.2 percent, of which investment in technological transformation increased by 18.4 percent. These two cities are of landmark significance to China, so these two sets of data also indicate that there will be a good foundation for future development.
Xin Guobin:
High-tech leadership and strong succession refer to the continuous strengthening of scientific and technological support and the leading role of emerging industries, making every effort to promote the "stuck neck" key core technology research and the "iterative" application of innovative products, comprehensively promote the development of new materials and other industries, and promote the continuous conversion of new and old kinetic energy. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9%, and the added value of strategic emerging manufacturing increased by 7.7, 2.6 and 1.3 percentage points faster than the overall manufacturing industry. New energy vehicles, urban rail vehicles, service robots, 3D printing equipment, high-end medical equipment, and biomedicine have all maintained a relatively high growth rate.
Reducing costs and increasing efficiency and helping small and micro businesses refers to the full implementation of larger-scale tax and fee reduction measures, improving the support policy system for financial services to private enterprises and small and micro enterprises, clearing up arrears of accounts owed to private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, and significantly enhancing enterprises' sense of policy acquisition. In the first five months, the decline in profits of industrial enterprises above designated size narrowed by 1 percentage point compared with the first quarter. Profits rose 1.1 per cent in the month of May, while the added value of private and small and medium-sized industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 8.7 per cent and 8.1 per cent respectively in the first half of the year, an acceleration of 2.7 and 1 percentage point respectively over the same period last year. Profits in the first five months increased by 6.6 per cent and 6.7 per cent, respectively.
This is the last sentence. At present, the global economy as a whole is slowing down, and trade bullying is very popular, which has brought great uncertainty to the world economy. Under the background of economic globalization, it is impossible for any country to stay out of the matter, and there is no winner in the trade war. In addition to the overall tightening of the external environment, China also has the pain of domestic transformation and upgrading and the existing structural and institutional contradictions, and the factors of uncertainty and instability have increased significantly. In accordance with a series of decisions and deployments of the central government and this year's economic work, we will deepen the implementation of the eight-character policy of "consolidation, enhancement, improvement, and smooth flow", focus on the "six stability" work, and promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry as an important support for stable growth. Continuously enhance independent innovation capabilities, continue to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and strive to create new momentum and new advantages for the smooth operation of the industrial economy. We believe that the goals and tasks for the whole year can be achieved. Thank you all.
Wall Street Journal Reporter:
My question is, why is 5G technology so important to China, and when will China deploy 5G technology, especially in rural areas.
Xin Guobin:
Please ask Mr. Wenku to answer this question.
Wenku:
Thank you for your question. The reason why 5G technology is important is that I think it has been discussed in the media for a long time. I will briefly repeat it here.
5G technology is different from 4G and has something in common. Apart from the large bandwidth use of 4G, such as high-speed browsing and high-speed imaging, when 5G technology was originally designed, some other applications were also taken into account in addition to connecting people to people's communication. On many occasions, everyone said that 5G has changed the world. In addition to large bandwidth, there are also low latency, high reliability, and large connections. That is to say, in addition to traditional 4G applications, 5G also has Internet of Things applications and industrial control. Similar to some low latency and high reliability control applications, its development will be of great significance to the future development of society and some other applications.
With regard to the countryside, I think it has always been the focus of our development. At present, we have been working for many years through the universal service compensation mechanism. I believe that the reporters present here have also visited the countryside. Our goal is to achieve the same speed on the same network in rural and urban areas. At present, we can basically do it. We have almost all administrative villages across the country connected to optical fiber. According to the measured speed, the average network speed can reach more than 60 megabytes. Mobile coverage is also very important. Before 5G arrived, we had already started to deploy 4G networks in rural areas on a large scale. By the end of this year, preliminary estimates show that more than 98% of the 550000 administrative villages in the country will have 4G network coverage.
In terms of 5G, network deployment is usually a slowly rising curve. This year, 5G is mainly deployed in some key places, especially in some hot spots and big cities. With the next step of work, 5G will be gradually deployed in rural areas like 4G. Thank you.
Xin Guobin:
I would like to add a word to this question. 4G changes life, 5G changes society. Any country and people have the right to pursue a better life. 5G is not only important to China, but also to all countries in the world. Thank you.
Guangming Daily reporter:
This year's government work report proposed that more than half of the arrears to enterprises should be paid off before the end of the year, and no new arrears should be added.
Xin Guobin:
Clearing up the arrears of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises is an important decision and deployment made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. On this work, General Secretary Xi Jinping made two important instructions. On November 1 last year, the General Secretary organized a symposium on private small and medium-sized enterprises. At the meeting, he clearly stated that we must attach great importance to the problem of triangular debt and correct local governments and large enterprises. The behavior of enterprises defaulting on the accounts of private enterprises. After that, on November 9, at the 30th executive meeting of the State Council, it was specially studied and decided to carry out a special action to clean up the debts owed by local governments and large state-owned enterprises to private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises.
At the "Two Sessions" in March this year, the Prime Minister clearly stated in the "Government Work Report" that this year, the task of clearing up more than half of the arrears of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises will be completed, and no new arrears will be allowed. In accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, all regions and relevant departments work together and cooperate closely to actively promote the work of clearing debts. As the lead unit of the inter-ministerial joint meeting mechanism to reduce the burden on enterprises, since the launch of the special action, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has strengthened overall coordination, established detailed ledgers, organized special training, announced reporting telephone numbers and complaint platforms, and at the same time strengthened the scheduling and notification of progress, and interviewed Some areas with slow progress and carried out on-site supervision. The Ministry of Finance has organized and supervised enterprises to conscientiously carry out the work of clearing arrears, and actively studied and issued a fund guarantee policy to support the use of arrears. The central enterprises under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have accelerated the "clearing" of non-divergent arrears, and the National Audit Office has deployed special audits to promote the clearing of arrears and effectively promote the clearing of arrears.
In accordance with the requirements of "territorial management, hierarchical responsibility, who supervises, who is responsible", all localities strengthen organization and coordination, and pay close attention to the implementation of work. At present, the overall progress of various tasks is relatively smooth. From November last year to the end of June this year, government departments at all levels and large state-owned enterprises have cleared up more than 380 billion yuan in arrears to private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. Among them, central enterprises have completed 88% of the total. One third of the provinces have reached half or even higher. At the same time, the work of clearing debts is also facing some difficulties and problems. The work in some areas is not real and detailed, the progress is relatively slow, and there are zero reports in some areas. If we continue to push forward at this rate, there may be a drag in some places by the end of the year. Of course, there are objective reasons for the complexity of arrears, but what is more important is that some places do not pay enough attention, the working mechanism is not perfect, and the implementation of responsibilities is not in place. In this regard, it is necessary to further improve the ideological understanding, face up to the difficulties, carefully analyze the existing problems, and start to solve them, so as to effectively grasp the actual results of the work of clearing debts.
Xin Guobin:
Doing a good job in clearing debts is to implement the requirements of General Secretary Jinping's important speech at the private enterprise symposium. It is also an important measure to support the development of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. It corresponds to the current downward pressure on the economy and international economic and trade frictions, and optimizes the business environment. Maintaining the credibility of the government is of great significance. In the second half of the year, we will urge local governments and large state-owned enterprises to further improve their political positions, effectively unify their thinking with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, make persistent efforts, work steadily, and take more effective measures to ensure the completion of the annual goals and tasks.
There are several specific measures:
One is to strengthen scheduling interviews. Scheduling the progress of debt settlement on a monthly basis, and reporting, urging areas and units with slow settlement progress to increase their work, and when necessary, interview the person in charge of the relevant areas. Regarding the overall progress in the first half of the year, we will hold the first quarterly scheduling meeting later this week. In addition to the participation of these units in the inter-ministerial joint meeting mechanism to reduce the burden on enterprises, the Secretary-General in charge of the State Council will also participate in this scheduling meeting.
The second is to strengthen supervision and inspection, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the implementation of the work of clearing debts in various places through the State Council's major supervision and inspection, the national burden reduction special supervision and special audit, etc., to supervise and urge the reform to ensure the completion of the annual goals and tasks. Here I can also tell you that this year's State Council inspection will still clean up the arrears of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises as an important content. The National Audit Office has also stepped up its work in this regard. At present, 2000 audit teams have been set up across the country to strengthen supervision and audit in areas where the progress of debt clearance is slow and in some areas with zero reports, and urge local governments to earnestly grasp this work.
The third is to strengthen the supervision of reporting, promptly accept and verify the problems reported by enterprises, and respond to social concerns. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has set up a reporting platform, and each province has also set up a reporting platform to accept complaints from enterprises and list them for supervision. Any report will be sent to all relevant regions for verification and verification. Typical cases of malicious arrears and protracted delays will be publicly exposed.
The fourth is to study the establishment of a long-term mechanism, accelerate the study of supporting legislation for the SME Promotion Law, explore the inclusion of prevention and resolution of arrears in the legal and regulatory system, and gradually establish a long-term mechanism to solve these arrears from the source. Administrative means have a certain effect, but fundamentally speaking, to put an end to new arrears, there must be legal protection. Therefore, we have also increased the progress of legislation in accordance with the requirements of the central government, hoping to further clarify this issue from the rule of law. That's all I answered. Thank you.
China Daily reporter:
I have two questions to ask the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Standing Committee of the State Council has made it clear that the "number portability transfer" will be fully implemented nationwide by the end of November. What is the current progress? What are the next steps to ensure the smooth implementation? In addition, there are media reports that, affected by the international situation, foreign-funded enterprises are speeding up their withdrawal or transfer out of the Chinese market, and some Chinese enterprises are also laying out in Southeast Asia. What does the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology think about this problem?
Xin Guobin:
I would like to ask Director Wen Ku to answer the first question.
Wenku:
"Number portability" is a popular project that is highly concerned by the whole society. It is also an important measure to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's people-centered development thinking and make information and communication services better benefit the people. In order to implement the "number portability and network transfer" work, after the "two sessions" this year, we immediately organized three basic telecommunications companies and China Tower Corporation to formulate a "three-stage" work schedule for system construction and transformation, joint debugging and testing, and service provision., Deploy to promote the "number portability and network transfer" work across the country. At present, all kinds of work are being promoted in an orderly manner, and five pilot provinces and cities have completed the work of 2.3 million users' number portability.
For a long time, mobile phone number is an important mark for various communication companies to provide services for users. Each company has its own number. For example, you may be familiar with mobile 139, Unicom 186, telecom 189, etc. After the reform of the telecommunications system, our country's communications market has basically formed a pattern of full competition among three basic telecommunications companies. Each company's products and services have their own characteristics, attracting user groups with different needs to move between the networks and replace the service providers. operator. With the upgrading of mobile communication technology and the rapid development of mobile Internet, mobile phone number is not only the identification of communication users, but also widely used in the Internet of all walks of life, becoming the "ID card" of network operation space ". Changing mobile phone numbers not only requires high time and economic costs, but also may cause property and security risks. "Number portability" can resolve these contradictions, and users can choose the operator to provide services for them without changing the number. From the perspective of comprehensive implementation, it is necessary to properly deal with the two major challenges of huge data volume and wide coverage.
To this end, we should do a good job in two aspects: one is to carry out the necessary transformation of the network and operation system of the three basic telecommunications enterprises. As we all know, our country is close to 1.6 billion mobile users, and the operation system of 1.6 billion mobile users is updated. Such a large-scale project is unprecedented from the perspective of the world. It takes a lot of complicated and meticulous work, just like climbing Fragrant Mountain and climbing Mount Everest. Therefore, this gap is very large, and you can see its difficulty.
The second is to carry out simultaneous transformation of third-party platforms such as banks, insurance, securities, and Internet companies. Mobile phone numbers are widely used in information applications in all walks of life. In order to maintain the original application unaffected, it is necessary to cooperate with the application systems of all walks of life to ensure the user experience after "carrying the number to the network.
In order to achieve the goal of "carrying, transferring quickly and using well", in the next step, we will ensure the smooth implementation of "carrying number to network" from four aspects.
First, after the completion of the national system construction and transformation, organize and carry out the national joint debugging and testing work to ensure that the system operation meets the requirements of the specification.
二是制定管理办法。目前，已经起草完成了“携号转网”服务管理暂行办法，明确“携号转网”的服务办理条件、业务流程、服务规范等内容，近期将会按程序面向社会公开征求意见。
三是要加强与相关行业主管部门的沟通，共同推进银行、保险、证券以及互联网企业等第三方平台进行同步改造，确保用户“携号转网”后的业务体验。
四是组织开展监督检查，确保健康有序的市场竞争环境。
Xin Guobin:
第二个问题，我来给您做一个简要的回答。
受到市场、成本、经济的因素的影响，部分外资企业撤出中国市场，部分国内加工制造业，包括加工密集型产业，也到成本更低的国家寻求投资发展机会。大家都知道，最近东南亚国家特别是越南现在炒得很火。这些都是企业正常的经营行为，符合产业发展的客观规律。整个产业的梯度转移，资本向低成本地区流动，这是客观规律。对此，我们也没有必要大惊小怪。
从目前掌握的情况看，制造业外迁的规模不大，基本上还是以中低端企业为主。对中国经济增长、产业升级、劳动力就业方面的影响总体可控。在这里我要特别强调的是，中国拥有庞大的国内市场、完整的产业体系以及高效的基础设施，尤其是新技术应用等新优势，中国仍然是目前世界上最有魅力的投资热土。
自2008年以来，我国利用外资一直居全球前三位，连续25年居发展中国家首位，利用外资的结构也在不断优化。2018年，在全球外国直接投资同比下降40%以上的背景下，中国制造业实际使用外资金额同比增长23%。今年1-6月，高技术制造业利用外资同比增长13.4%，信息服务业同比增长68.1%，这个成绩还是相当亮丽的。
对于产业的梯度转移问题，我们也作过一些了解，请有关省份作了普查，以广东为例，2018年共有588家外商投资制造业企业调整了在广东的生产力布局，有一些到了越南、有一些到了泰国、有一些到了马来西亚。这588家企业仅占全省外商投资制造业企业总数的1.44%，但是同期外国投资净增了1918家，像巴斯夫、埃克森美孚、富士康等一批百亿美元级的外资高端制造业项目相继在广东落户。近期也有外媒报道，一些已经外迁的企业因各种原因又纷纷流回到中国，这些都充分说明了中国依然是全球最具竞争力的投资目的地之一。
我们展望今后，中国将进一步深化制造业对外开放，加快电信业的开放进程，全面实施准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理制度，落实新开放领域政策，扩大鼓励外商投资的领域和范围。同时，中国政府还将继续深化“放管服”改革，落实减税降费的具体措施，切实放宽行业准入，降低企业融资成本，坚持内外资企业一视同仁，创造更具吸引力的投资环境。
我相信企业会对这些更感兴趣，中国未来的发展仍然可期。谢谢。
第一财经记者：
我还想问一个关于5G的问题，市场非常关注的5G安全，工信部将采取哪些举措，确保5G在各行业领域的应用安全？谢谢。
Wenku:
刚才，你提到的5G安全问题，我想说，5G的安全实际上和4G、3G、2G以及固网的安全有很多相同之处。我们在网络发展中对安全是非常重视的，不仅仅是5G才开始关注安全问题。随着5G的发展，像刚才说到的，5G除了速度更快以外，在低时延、高可靠以及物联网上有一些新的功能，我们在发展过程当中也是非常注重安全的。通信发展和安全一直是成对配套的，不能说我们光顾发展不顾安全。所以中国一直在安全方面秉承着开放、共享的发展理念，特别是在5G发展过程中，我们和全球的通信界共同推进5G发展。多年来，在各国运营企业和相关市场主体的信任下，中国企业与各国企业开展了良好的交流与合作。最近，可能大家也听到个别媒体上特别是一些国家说5G不安全，实际上到目前为止，没有看到任何证据。在这件事上多次做了澄清，所以我们希望，第一要注重安全，第二不要无中生有，对于新技术要给予发展空间，不要刚出来一个技术就说不安全。我们将和世界各国一起，共同推进保障5G的安全，共同推进我们这个产业的安全，这是我们始终秉承的发展理念，也是我们在实践当中所坚持的。谢谢。
南华早报记者：
请问现在的中美贸易争端对于中国工业经济上半年造成了多大的影响？请问在近期的话，工信部是不是更有信心看到美方会放宽对华为的一些限制？谢谢。
Xin Guobin:
黄利斌先简单做一个回应。
黄利斌:
总体来说，刚才辛部长作了一个介绍，上半年工业经济形势总体平稳，达到了预期目标的上线。尽管中美经贸摩擦对工业运行造成了一定的影响，但这个影响是可控的。在党中央、国务院的坚强领导下，在各地区、各部门和相关行业的共同努力下，积极稳妥地应对中美经贸摩擦冲突，采取了有效、有力的举措，着力化解了不利影响。目前，我们也开展了一些措施，包括对美加征关税商品的排除工作，对受中美摩擦影响较大的集成电路设计和软件产业企业实行了所得税减免的措施，共同帮助企业度过难关。从数据表现来看，今年上半年我对美出口是近两千亿美元，同比下降了8.1%，但同期我对主要贸易伙伴出口基本上都实现了增长，对欧盟、东盟、韩国出口同比分别增长了6%、7.9%和2.5%。下一步，我们将进一步采取措施，共同帮助企业度过难关，共同推进我国工业平稳健康发展。
第一，进一步落实落细中央的“六稳”政策，更加精准帮扶受损的企业，降低产业链的、被迫外迁的压力。第二，更大强度推进关键核心技术的攻关，增强中国产业体系抗冲击的能力。第三，更大力度地发挥好财税政策的调节作用，提升产业链升级的步伐。第四，更高水平的服务好实体经济、落实好一系列企业降税降费相关政策措施，引导产业结构有序优化。谢谢。
Wenku:
前面我已经说过了，中国一直秉承着开放、共同发展的理念，在5G发展过程中，中国也在实践这个理念。事实上，中国企业与如英特尔、高通等外资企业保持着良好的合作关系，双方互惠互利、合作共赢，英特尔、高通等美国企业积极参与我国5G发展，也做了一些贡献。美国突然将华为列为“实体清单”，也极大地损害了美国企业的利益，美国企业也不希望如此。5G牌照发放以后，我们注意到了国际上的一些企业，包括英特尔、高通、爱立信等，也纷纷对外表态，称中国发放5G牌照有利于促进中国5G市场的积极发展，表示已经做好准备，全力支持中国5G商用部署。我们非常欣慰地看到，大部分国家和美国企业能够客观、理性地看待该问题。希望这件事情能够妥善解决。谢谢。
Yanchun:
时间关系，最后两个提问的机会，请第一排记者提问。
香港电台记者：
有关华为的问题，大家都关注华为在去年开始已经因为中美贸易争端的问题受到美国不断的施压，之后有一个说法，可能华为已经没有办法再发展了，不知道现在的情况会不会有改善，随着中美贸易的关系好像有一些缓和，而且美国之前也有说过，其实打击华为已经不是一个商业的活动，是一个国家的政策。不知道中方有没有方法应对？在5G民用的时间表上，不知道有没有一个已经规划好的时间，何时可以用到？谢谢。
Wenku:
刚才，这个内容实际上我已经答了很多了，我再换一个角度说一下。关于华为怎么样，我想，从其他的媒体看到任正非先生已经表述了很多了，我想他表述的一些华为内部的内容，比我表述得要更为准确。
作为5G何时民用，我们在6月6日端午节放假前夕，发布了一个非常喜庆的消息，就是中国的5G牌照发放了。发放牌照就意味着中国的5G开始正式商用，大规模开始部署了。在发布时间点上，很多记者会有疑问，说时间是提前了，还是拖后了？实际上，准确的应该什么时候发，就像预产期一样，可能早，也可能晚，实际上最重要是成熟了。我想从我们的产业链来看，无论网络还是从终端，我们都已经步入成熟阶段了。据我了解，现在大概有一二十款手机基本上可以用了，到年底将会更多。设备要比终端更早一些，已经成熟了，从这两个角度来看，中国适时发放5G牌照是正当其时，中国5G牌照的发放既是考虑设备和终端的成熟，也考虑到未来国家的发展、网络的发展、应用的发展。因为5G是非常重要的基础设施，所以，发展5G对整个通信行业的发展乃至社会的进步都是非常有意义的。
据我了解，几个运营商都已开始部署网络，现在有的开始征集一些试验用户，这个试验过程和当年的4G是一样的，是逐步进行的，网络建设需要一个过程，网络和终端的磨合也需要一个过程，不太可能说今天发了牌照，明天全国各地都有网络、所有手机都换成5G手机，这是一个循序渐进的过程，相信产业界也会不断努力，逐渐为大家提供更成熟的网络和更好用的手机。所以，您不要着急，或许明年你们就拿着5G手机在这儿发新闻了。谢谢。
Economic Daily reporter:
2019年，中央经济工作会议将推动制造业高质量发展作为各项任务之首，一季度中央政治局分析研究经济形势和经济工作，提出要把推动制造业高质量发展作为稳增长的重要依托，引导传统产业加快转型升级，做强做大新兴产业。能否请工信部介绍一下，今年以来采取哪些措施推动制造业高质量发展？谢谢。
黄利斌：
制造业是立国之本、强国之基，党中央、国务院高度重视制造业的高质量发展，并将其作为稳增长的重要依托，我们认真贯彻落实党中央、国务院的决策部署，深化落实“巩固、增强、提升、畅通”八字方针，着力在“强化、创新、优化结构、促进融合、培强企业、优化环境”等方面下功夫，扎实推进制造业高质量发展。
主要的工作和进展有以下几个方面：
一是增强制造业的技术创新能力，采取“揭榜挂帅”的新机制，组织开展新一代人工智能产业创新重点任务的揭榜工作，加快重点领域攻关突破。完善制造业创新体系建设，今年新批复建设智能网联汽车、轨道交通装备、农机装备、先进功能纤维等4个国家级制造创新中心。已累计批复了13家国家制造业创新中心、指导各地认定了107家省级制造业创新中心。围绕工业“四基”，开展了“一揽子”突破和“一条龙”应用，持续提升工业基础能力。
二是推动产业结构优化升级。大力推进企业技术改造，推动传统产业数字化、网络化、智能化升级。实施绿色制造工程，推动车联网、机器人、智能语音等重点领域的发展，出台了《车联网（智能网联汽车）产业发展行动计划》《机器人产业发展规划》等政策文件，支持创建了江苏（无锡）车联网先导区，批复创建上海（浦东新区）人工智能创新应用先导区，创新集群培育方式，组织公开招标，培育了一批先进的制造业集群。
三是提升融合发展水平。深入实施智能制造工程，培育一批标杆性企业，推广应用国家智能制造标准，发展壮大智能制造系统解决方案供应商。深入推进“互联网+”和“智能+”，为制造业转型升级赋能。实施制造业数字化转型行动，加快两化融合标准体系建设和贯标的推广。推动大数据应用和试点示范，遴选出94个具有行业代表性和示范性的优秀的案例，推动约50家企业完成数据管理能力成熟度评估。
四是支持中小企业发展，深入贯彻《中小企业促进法》，落实促进中小企业发展的各项政策措施，完善中小企业公共服务平台建设，培育更多专精特新“小巨人”企业和单项冠军企业，公布了首批248家专精特新“小巨人”企业名单，开展促进大中小企业融通发展的行动计划，提升中小企业专业化能力和水平。
五是营造良好的发展环境。制造业增值税税率由16%降到了13%，印发实施促进中小企业健康发展的指导意见，组织开展清理拖欠民营企业中小企业工作专项行动，落实金融支持制造业发展的政策措施，推进产融合作试点。与中国太保集团、中国建设银行等金融机构签署了战略合作协议，深化制造业高质量发展。明确汽车开放的时间表，取消稀土等矿物资源冶炼环节、宣纸和墨锭生产对外资的限制，一般制造业已全面实现了对外开放。谢谢。
