Xia Qingfeng:
Fourth, advanced technology products have been adopted to support anti-epidemic efforts. Sterilization with radiation exposure provided by China National Nuclear Corporation and China General Nuclear Power Group has substantially prolonged effective periods of sterilizers. The chip developed by China Electronics Corporation has enabled the full production of body temperature test kits. The highly-efficient glass fiber filter paper produced by China National Building Material Company Ltd has been involved in the construction of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan Hospitals in Wuhan, which is the capital of Hubei province; this paper, which is able to filter out 99.97% of the granules estimated a t 0.3 micrometers, can help ward off airborne coronavirus aerosol particles.
Fifth, production with artificial intelligence should be applied to support automatic manufacturing and remote medical treatments. Central enterprises, which have made full use of 5G, the Internet of Things, the Industrial Internet and artificial intelligence technologies, have undertaken the construction of automatic workshops and smart factories to upgrade intelligent production and reduce the size of the on-site labor force. The 5G-based intelligent equipment, including robots for medical services, emergency ambulances, driverless cargo vans and epidemic control vehicles, developed by China Mobile have reached 3,900 medical institutes and supported more than 30,000 remote group diagnoses.
As we always say, opportunities often arise amid challenges. Therefore, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council will direct central enterprises to effectively make use of experiences, research and development progress and industrial advancements that arose during this epidemic. We will step up our efforts to work on a well-designed layout of emerging industries that includes the Internet of Things, the Industrial Internet, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence. Our involvement in life sciences, remote medical treatments, medicines and healthcare services should be much expanded. The integration of modern information technologies, including the internet and big data, into traditional manufacturing industries should be enhanced in an effort to help manufacturers transform and upgrade. Thank you.
