April 20, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of China's full-featured access to the Internet and the 50th anniversary of the birth of the TCP/IP-based Internet. Various commemorative activities were held to review the glorious history of China's Internet development and discuss future development trends. Recently, I participated in the "Salute to Internet 3050" event jointly organized by the Fuxi Think Tank and the World Internet Science and Technology Museum, at which I met many seniors who have made significant contributions to the development of China's Internet industry, including Qian Hualin, and listened to their stories about the development of China's Internet from scratch and from weak to strong in the past 30 years. On the same day, the Internet Society of China also organized and held the "Symposium on the 30th Anniversary of the Development of China's Internet - Seize the Opportunity and Start Again", at which the report "China's Internet Development and Reform in the Past 30 Years" was released. According to the report, the 30-year development of the Internet in mainland China has been centered on infrastructure construction, which on the one hand has promoted the rapid growth of the Internet market scale and user scale, and promoted the rapid development of Internet business based on the "demographic dividend"; on the other hand, it has led the pan-information manufacturing industry and major scientific and technological innovations, realizing the "curve overtaking" of China's Internet.
Indeed, in the first 30 years of development, the "wing-driven" model has made China's Internet industry achieve brilliant achievements, and it is no exaggeration to say that after 30 years of development, China's Internet applications are now ahead of the world. We look back on the past for better development in the future. The reason for the success of China's Internet industry is not only the support of international Internet technology innovation, but also the self-struggle of all parties in the domestic industry. First of all, we have built a strong and extensive network infrastructure, whether it is fixed-line broadband or mobile communication networks, which have laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Internet industry; second, we have a group of Internet talents who dare to innovate and practice, and it is their indomitable struggle that has created many Internet giants; finally, we have a huge user market, which is an incomparable advantage for other countries in the world. Of course, the development and growth of China's Internet industry is inseparable from strong policy guidance and a relatively tolerant regulatory environment. All the past is prologue. In the past 30 years, we have created brilliant achievements, but the future is the key we need to consider. Today's success lays the foundation for the next generation of the Internet, but we're just getting started with where the future holds. Especially on the eve of the "big explosion" of artificial intelligence, China's Internet has also ushered in a critical moment. If we say that in the past 30 years, we have made full use of our own advantages with the help of international technological forces, and thus succeeded in one fell swoop; then in the next 30 years, what will be the direction of the development of China's Internet? At the "Symposium on the Development of China's Internet for the 30 th Anniversary," when talking about how China's Internet can seize the opportunity and start again, the answer given by many experts is: We must take scientific and technological innovation and breakthroughs as the goal and create new glories. In January this year, the National Data Bureau, together with 17 departments, including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for the × of Data Elements (2024-2026)", which put forward an eye-catching concept - "× of data elements", indicating that it is necessary to vigorously deploy and implement the "× of data elements" action, and listed 12 key areas to be promoted, requiring full use of China's massive data resources, Enrich the advantages of application scenarios, lead the flow of technology, talents, and materials with data flow, realize knowledge diffusion, value multiplication, and give birth to new industries and new models, so as to provide strong support for promoting high-quality development and promoting Chinese-style modernization. Here's the answer. In the past 30 years, the Internet has been people-oriented, and in the next 30 years, the Internet will be based on "data", and everything will be connected to create a broader world.
