China plans to build 4.5 million 5G base stations and develop more future industries in 2025, said the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology at its working conference on Friday.

Citing that the country has built a staggering 4.19 million 5G base stations, the industry regulator said that "promoting 5G revolution and 6G innovation will be one of the priorities" next year.

Alongside the 5G push, the ministry is initiating trials for 10-gigabit optical networks and optimizing computing power centers to ensure seamless integration between network and computing capabilities.

The MIIT predicted that China's industrial output is expected to grow 5.7 percent year-over-year and will maintain its stable contribution to GDP growth.

Revenue from the telecom sector, along with software and IT services, is expected to rise by about 11 percent year-on-year.

Looking ahead, the MIIT also unveiled plans to cultivate emerging and future industries, including intelligent connected vehicles, and broadening the application of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.

More innovative policies will also be made to biomanufacturing, quantum technology, embodied intelligence and atomic-level manufacturing, it said.
