1978, China’s electronic information industry has been advancing
at a high speed, having far-reaching and favorable influence on
other branches of the national economy. Computers, software and
telecommunications are the three major parts of China’s information
industry. By 1999, the total scale of the information industry was
at the top international level. The output of color TV sets, sound
equipment and telephones had leaped to first place in the world;
the total sales income of the electronic information industry had
reached 430 billion yuan, with 39 billion US dollars in export value.

years. Currently, finance, posts and telecommunications, science and
technology, education, business activities and government institutions
in China all have their own network systems and data bases connected
with the Internet. So far, China has 8.9 million Internet users. In
1999, Beijing opened a 45-megampere international exit, which made
the total bandwidth of international exit of China’s electronic information
130 megamperes. As the industry developed most rapidly since the reform
and opening to the outside world, telecommunications manufacturing
kept an over-30-percent development speed during the Eighth Five-Year
Plan period. China has completed various public telecommunication
networks throughout the country and linked with the rest of the world,
including optical-fibre, digital microwave, satellite communication,
program-controlled exchange, and mobile and data communication. |
