China's Cyberspace Administration Report: 6G Completes First Phase Trials, Generative AI Users Reach 602 Million
China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) released the National Informatization Development Report (2025), revealing that 6G technology has completed its first phase of technical trials and that China's generative AI user base has reached 602 million people. The report provides a comprehensive overview of China's digital progress in 2025.
China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) has officially released the National Informatization Development Report (2025), providing a comprehensive review of China's digital infrastructure and technology achievements over the past year.
The report discloses that 6G technology has successfully completed its first phase of technical trials, marking a critical step forward in China's research and development of next-generation mobile communications. This is the first official confirmation that China has completed the first phase of 6G technical testing.
In the artificial intelligence sector, the report states that China's generative AI user base has reached 602 million people. This figure indicates that generative AI has entered a mass adoption phase across China, covering use cases from office productivity and content creation to education and healthcare.
The report also covers progress across multiple digital dimensions, including digital infrastructure, data marketplace development, e-government, digital economy, and digital society metrics. As the authoritative national report on informatization development, it provides important guidance for policy formulation and industry investment decisions.
From an industry perspective, the 6G milestone suggests that China's telecom supply chain is accelerating its early-stage transition from 5G to 6G, which will drive continued R&D investment from equipment makers, chip manufacturers, and carriers.
The generative AI user milestone of over 600 million further confirms the rapid democratization of AI tools in China — expanding from tech-savvy users in first-tier cities to ordinary users in lower-tier cities, with AI tool penetration increasing rapidly across demographic segments.
The timing of this report coincides with a period of rapid iteration in China's AI industry, and these informatization metrics will provide data support for subsequent policy support and industrial investment directions.
Why it matters
China's confirmation of 6G phase-one trial completion alongside 602 million generative AI users signals synchronized acceleration in both communications infrastructure and AI application deployment, providing clear directional guidance for related industry investment and policy support.
