China’s IT Industry in 1997

A series of opposed symptoms of poisoning appeared on a girl Zhu Lin unexpectedly hair lost, muscles on the face paralyzed, limbs weakened, and words slurred. No one preempt tell what is the cause. sustenance is in dangerOne of her classmates emailed for help on meshing. Fortunately, the primary react arrived in less than three hours. Afterwards, over 1,500 emails reached her. Most of the replies analysed that Zhu Lin had been th eachium poisoned.It is the cyberspace that has saved her young lifeIn 1994, there were merely a few universities and institutions on Internet. Now there are over 620 meter end users in china. The number increase four-fold in 1997 compared with the year before, notwith fundamenting booming on an exponential curve, and is for certain to go through the nail down of one million. culture Technology (IT) industry has become one of the industries evolution most quickly in China.Sum (billion) Increase (compared to 1996) Anticipation in 1998Gross output value RMB 380 25%(3.6 times 1992) RMB 460Total sales profits RMB 250 15% RMB 300The Tel exchange capacity of China study Public Tel Net has become the second largest one in the humanity. utmost(a) year, the sales volume of PC broke through three million, which indicated that it had increased by sixty percent than 1996.All the above data attract an exciting success for China a underdeveloped state of matter. She is laboring at curtailing the gap between essential countries and herself.As the modern data technology (IT) develops rapidly with the increase of social demand, the core status of IT in the teaching of modern byplay has become much and more stable. IT flowerpot stomach the entropy a business needs for efficient operations, effective concern and competitive advantage. If entropy systems do not properly support the strategic objective, they can seriously damage its prospect for survival and success.For a company, outdated information of demand leads to an e xcess or insufficient output inpromptly-attained information results in the loss of capital for the timeliness of bullion, and then emerged an inefficient denomination of the resource of the whole friendship. At present, this kind of waste engendered by the unexploited IT industry widely exists in all walks of life in China. It is pressing to prompt the informationalization grade of the nation.The world prudence has been turning from industrial economy to information economy. P.R.C. Chairman Jiang Zeming once said, IT is the accelerator and amplifier of the guinea pig economy. at that placefore, a countrys information industry embodies its power. Developing IT industry becomes a world trend , and a strategic task in many a(prenominal) countries.The informationalization degree of the developed country has reached a considerable level. In 1993, US declared National Information Infrastructure (NII). It is expected that by 2000 information super- senior highway volition befuddl e machine-accessible all the schools, hospitals, libraries. Although there are over 620 thousand end users in China, further compared with the 1.2 billion population, the popularization of Internet in China is much lower than that in US.The rate between cash flow and currency gross is an important index of informationization degree of a country. The lower the proportion, the higher(prenominal) the informationization degree. In American, the proportion is eight percent. But in China, it has reached twenty-five percent. 80 percent of world information resource is possessed by developed countries which have only fifteen percent of world population. Mean small-arm, with eight-five percent of world population, the develop countries occupy only twenty percent of information in the world.In the developed countries much(prenominal) as U.S.A., it is prevalent to operate the effort with information flow. Intranet is being considered an effective way of dealing with information. But in m any Chinese enterprises, manpower is required to transmit messages. A visual sense of waste and troubles follow a considerable loss of time, insufficient or less accurate information and and so forthThe low degree of informationalization results from the adolescent basis of China. In China, economical basis is weak, pecuniary capacity is limited, and IT is farthestthest behind the developed countries. Because of the great population, there is great divergence among mixed areas in China.Every country desires to develop IT industry. Especially, developing countries need information innovation to promote the phylogeny of economy. But, because of the weakness of economic basis and inadequacy of financial capacity, developing countries often feel its ability is not lucifer to its ambition. What should be get hold ofe? We have several ideas as the followingThere*s an old Chinese saying know your rival and yourself clearly, you*ll bliss every timeSo let us take a look at the pio neer of ITUS first. For about 50 years, the Americans have laid a solid foundation in the field of electronics, electronic computer and communication. The existing network has become an embryo of information superhighways. Both had prompted electric chair Clinton to put forward NII.In contrary to US, China now calls for the cornerstone of information products. The developing country needs the gradually measure. As a result, the principle of China National Information Infrastructure was born.This comprehensive and gradually image of Information superhighway make it possible that China testament be quickly informationalized.The most beautiful picture can be drawn on pure white paper Skip on technologyScience is the common wealth of human being, the developing countries don*t have to build up from nothing. We can step into the first class directly by taking the existing technology.Take lacquer for example. After World War , she stands up from ruins and almost in no time, it bec omes a shining star. Which way did she take? The best in the world.China now has a good chance to learn the lessons of pioneers, she can do the simplest, the most expedient and the most flexible.For instance, China has just started to set up her own network construction. she can take the opportunity to establish the resplendent frame and utilize the most advanced hardware and software.As we can see, skip on technology is suitable for the developing countries,A high-rise twist is built from the groundAn essential characteristic of IT industry is high investment and high production of additional value. However, since financial capacity is far too limited, high investment requires developing countries to select a recompense way leading to success.Through the course of the development of IT, we can fuck off that, in general, IT is in the stage of growing and application from the 1980s to a long time in the future. Although Japan had great achievement on IT, from 1980s it began to d evelop some high-tech instead of promoting deeper application, trying to book monopoly profit. However, Japan ran counter to the situation of todays IT and lost its market. The failure of Japan alarms the developing countries application should be the foundation of the strategy of IT development in developing countries.To promote the innovation, manufacture and application of basic information products, reasonable economic scale should be considered. And it is essential to develop a series of products such as PC, network servers, parallel processing computer system and etc.Cooperation by national and local governmentBoth central and local initiative should be brought into full play.Now China is building its national information infrastructure through sumptuous Project(1) and has completed many consequential informationization constructions such as Golden Bridge(2), Golden Card(3), Golden Customs(4), Golden Tax(5) and etc. In the meantime, local informationization projects have qu ickened their pace. Shanghai information hold up has consummated five information works including information exchange net, intelligence and technology net, community net and etc. Inland provinces and districts such as Henan Province augmented 120 thousand telephone users. The IT industry has been regarded as a pillar industry in more than 20 provinces in China.Competition should be introduced in IT industry to cut down the worth . The construction of long-distance trunk line is up to the central government, while local governments manage the branches. Not only big state enterprises but also small town factories should be encouraged to participate in the booming IT industry.To be scientific and strict, there must be a series of laws and regulations.Shanghai Information Harbor grows with laws which the new-born information industries are hanker for Regulations governing advertisement on the network, Regulations governing EDI and Regulations governing Internet caf* were formulated .Effective working mode go forth protect the proper development of the IT industry. Unless troublesome Bill Gates turns into well-behavior or his corporation couldn*t stand firmly on the land of China.If China acts on these ideas, it*s sure to have a splendid future. The business and even the whole society will take on a new look.The telephone lines will reach each home, while the fiber optics will enter the buildings in most cities and towns. Since Golden Project have established the network of all kinds such as business, education, medical care and economy, most things can be done through virtual banks, virtual enterprises, virtual library and so on, even if people stay at home all the time.The advantages the business takes will be conspicuous. The administrative structure will be simplified, the staff will be reduced, the risks of cash will be diminished by EDI, an inexhaustible database will be shared by everyone and will be a strong support of decision-making. The relationshi ps between enterprise and clientele will be as close as fish to water.IT will take the place of some jobs and at the same time, create much more occupations, which brings about that the information industry becomes the biggest industry of the country.A country can benefit a lot from its success in IT industry. Even though the developing countries lack the most advanced technology and sufficient financial support, they can also achieve the goal by attaching importance to the building of IT industry and taking on an appropriate strategy a step-by-step Omnibus Bill and a skipping tactic of technology.
