industries and SMEs and further improved our cloud-based big data and artificial
intelligence (AI) initiatives.

We accelerated the development of information and communications
infrastructure. As a pioneer in developing fifth-generation mobile communications
(5G), China built 887,000 5G base stations last year, bringing its total number to
2.312 million. This accounted for over 60% of the 5G base stations worldwide.
Broadband and fiber-optic networks were built at a faster pace, and gigabit

broadband connectivity has now been extended to more than 110 cities in China.
The platform economy was put under routine supervision, which further
consolidated the foundations for its well-regulated, healthy, and sustainable
development.

5. We continued to deepen reform, expand opening up, and unleash vitality and
internal momentum for development.
We continued reforms to develop the socialist market economy,
comprehensively promoted reform in key areas and sectors, accelerated the
establishment of new systems for a higher-standard open economy, and advanced

opening up on a larger scale, across more areas, and in greater depth.
1) The market system was improved.
We introduced and implemented guidelines on accelerating the development
of a unified national market, implemented a review system for fair competition,
and made remarkable progress in breaking administrative and market monopolies.

We continued to deepen reform of the market access negative list system, steadily
expanded trials in market entry efficiency evaluations, made solid progress in
collecting data on and reporting violations of the market access negative list, and
removed a number of typical barriers to market access. We made progress in the
comprehensive pilot reform for the market-based allocation of production factors,

gradually refined mechanisms for coordinating reform measures for different
types of production factors, and connected property rights trading markets
nationwide. We promoted the integration and sharing of trading platforms for
public resources and removed regional barriers to trading public resources. We

facilitated full-process online bidding and procurement and improved the market
environment for bidding and government procurement.
2) Reforms in key areas were advanced.
We fulfilled the tasks laid out in the three-year action plan for state-owned
enterprise (SOE) reform and continued to refine the layout and structure of the

state-owned sector. We worked to foster a favorable environment for the reform
