On May 17, the 2021 Sohu Technology 5G&AI Summit was grandly held in Beijing. As a guest, Chen Zhiping, Vice President of ZTE Corporation, participated in the roundtable forum with the theme of “New Infrastructure, New Intelligent Manufacturing”. After that, she accepted an exclusive interview with Sohu Technology, and gave detailed answers to the development process of C-end consumer-level applications after 5G commercialization two years later.

Since the first year of 5G commercial use in 2019, 5G has gradually moved from abstract technology to concrete application level, but from the consumer side, users’ perception of 5G is still not strong in two years.

Chen Zhiping pointed out that this is mainly due to the fact that on the one hand, the network itself has not been built to the coverage and coverage of the 4G era. On the other hand, if we are committed to developing applications that allow users to perceive differentiation, in addition to network optimization, Differentiated terminals are also needed.

In addition, although industry applications have entered a golden period this year, Chen Zhiping believes that there are still huge challenges, which are mainly reflected in the process of integrating industry scenarios with 5G and ICT technologies.

“From the perspective of enterprises, or from the perspective of the 5G empowerment manufacturing industry, I think machine vision has the most star potential among the current industry applications.” Chen Zhiping said that the application of machine vision at the industry level is already relatively mature. degree. Taking ZTE Corporation as an example, in the Binjiang manufacturing base, machine vision was successfully applied to the quality inspection of the production line, resulting in a 97% improvement in product quality.

The following is a concise compilation of the interview record:

Sohu Technology: 5G has been in commercial use for two years, but the perception of it at the C-end user level is still relatively weak. What caused it? What do you think of the two-year history of commercial development?

Chen Zhiping: China’s 5G development is very fast. According to recent data, there are currently more than 1.1 million 5G base stations in the world, and China has almost 800,000. China’s 5G applications should be said to be in the forefront of the world. Now everyone feels that 5G applications are not so sensible, and everyone’s perception of applications is not so high. In fact, on the one hand, the network itself has not yet reached the coverage and coverage of the network construction in the 4G era, including the improvement of our performance experience, and the experience of those in the 4G era has reached a level where the experience is relatively thick. There is still a period of time to develop. The development of any technology requires a long period of time to accumulate. This is one reason.

There is another reason. In terms of 5G applications, we are still looking forward to the emergence of some differentiated applications that will allow users to perceive the emergence of differentiated applications. This aspect belongs to the network and needs to be further optimized. On the other hand, there are some brighter expectations. The emergence of differentiated terminals, and now there are some AR and VR, this innovation has to be accelerated before the C-side applications can be perceived.

B-side applications may face greater challenges. This application also involves the in-depth opening of the industry to the industry itself, to the scene, and then effective integration with 5G. Only in this way can 5G be truly empowered in the industry and help business owners improve efficiency. , Cost reduction, and quality improvement, truly rest assured, worry-free and happy for business owners.

Sohu Technology: What exactly do you mean by the challenges faced by the B-side application?

Chen Zhiping: The application of the B-side, it belongs to the golden period of development layout. Taking ZTE as an example, we first effectively combine 5G applications with production and manufacturing scenarios in our own production and manufacturing links. For example, algorithms like machine vision plus 5G plus AI can improve the quality of our manufacturing links, including the improvement of personnel efficiency, the reduction of costs, and the connection of data throughout the production chain. This is One.

In addition, we have also achieved the combination of 5G and our industrial manufacturing robots, and used some flexible technologies to make production and manufacturing more intelligent.

In the 2B industry, the biggest challenge lies in the integration of industry scenarios and 5G technology with our ICT technology. There are technical challenges to solve and accumulate. There is also a talent for experts. The collision of cross-professional concepts and knowledge, as well as our teamwork approach to overcome these difficulties, reach a consensus, and establish a working mode of mutual cooperation and mutual trust. This is also one of the challenges that we have to solve.

There is also more that companies need to build such a long-term development confidence, determination and patience.

Sohu Technology: What are the current “star applications” in the 5G field? Which is the easiest to scale in the short term?

Chen Zhiping: From the perspective of enterprises, or from the perspective of the 5G empowerment manufacturing industry, I think machine vision has the most star potential in the current industry applications. Machine vision has been successfully applied to the quality inspection of production lines in ZTE’s intelligent manufacturing base and the Binjiang manufacturing base, resulting in a 97% improvement in product quality. Moreover, there is another application in our machine vision. We not only use it ourselves, but also as an abstract industrial application component. It has been successfully applied to the chemical fiber industry, metallurgical industry, including ports, including steel, and power grids. Including transportation, in fact, in various industries, the combination of machine vision and 5G, and the combination of AI algorithms, its application fields are relatively wide, and relatively speaking, its maturity is relatively high. Moreover, it can quickly make enterprises feel the value of reducing costs, improving quality and increasing efficiency.

Sohu Technology: It is said that 2019 is the first year of 5G. How do you define the development stage of 5G this year?

Chen Zhiping: This year should be the opening year and golden year of the 5G empowerment industry layout.

Sohu Technology: In the past 7 years, ZTE has invested more than 10 billion yuan in research and development every year, and its 5G standard essential patents rank among the top three in the world. What is ZTE’s plan for 5G next?

Chen Zhiping: In the 5G area, we have always emphasized the down-rooted approach to build continuous investment in the field of basic technology research and build one of our technological competitiveness. On the one hand, we hope to understand the 5G technology thoroughly, and then use its application technology, connection technology, and algorithm, intelligent calculation and storage, to extend the extension, we call the pan-5G technology wider and deeper.

In addition, we also emphasize that in terms of 5G applications, starting from ourselves, opening up the scene of industrial manufacturing, in our own 5G manufacturing base, to combine these 5G applications with our production links, using 5G to manufacture 5G, and to use 5G technology. These solutions for industrial manufacturing and our industrial components, solidify, abstract, and reproducibly apply to other industries. This is our own practice.

On the 5G application side, we are also working with our industry partners to explore and practice, and promote everyone to build an ecosystem of 5G applications. We are also willing to open up our atomic capabilities to companies in the industry and partners in the industry to promote the digital transformation of the entire industrial manufacturing and thousands of industries outside of the industry. This is why ZTE calls itself the position of a digital economy road builder in the digital age. We are willing to be the helper and promoter behind enterprise applications and digital transformation, and help everyone build an industrial ecosystem together.

The Ministry of Transport confirmed that the allocation of budget estimates for the maintenance of the national railway system to the Vietnam Railway Administration is in compliance with the provisions of the State Budget Law 2020. Photo: VNA

Regarding the document No. 803 / BC-ĐS of the Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR), make an urgent petition to the Prime Minister about problems in the management and maintenance of national railway infrastructure; In which, VNR emphasized that the difficulty of funding maintenance of railway infrastructure makes it difficult for the railway industry to stand by the end of April 2021, talking to the Vietnam News Agency on the morning of April 16, Mr. Le Hoang Minh, Director of the Department of Transport Infrastructure affirmed that the Ministry of Transport assigning the budget estimate for the maintenance of the national railway system to the Vietnam Railway Administration is in compliance with regulations. the current Law on State Budget 2020.

Specifically, Mr. Le Hoang Minh said that the Ministry of Transport cannot arbitrarily do any problems if it does not base on the current law provisions. The Ministry of Transport does not have to voluntarily assign it to the Vietnam Railway Administration because in the past (before 2018) when the Vietnam Railways Corporation was under the Ministry of Transport, according to the Law on State Budget, It is normal for the Ministry of Transport to assign the maintenance capital of VNR.

“However, when the State Budget Law 2020 came into existence to replace the old State Budget Law, and at the same time VNR moved to be under the State Capital Management Committee in Enterprises, the Ministry of Transport was only assigned capital to affiliated units. On the other hand, state budget capital is only allocated to specialized management units that the railway sector is assigned to the Vietnam Railway Administration ”, said Mr. Le Hoang Minh.

The Director of the Department of Transport Infrastructure affirmed that the Ministry of Transport is implementing the basis of Clause 5, Article 9; Clause 8 of Article 44 and Clause 1 of Article 49 of the 2020 Law on State Budget to allocate capital to the Vietnam Railway Administration. The Vietnam Railway Administration will then sign a contract to order the maintenance of the national railway infrastructure system with the maintenance units of VNR.

Mr. Le Minh Hoang added that in 2020, the above problem was also encountered when the Ministry of Transport could not hand over maintenance capital to VNR, so the Ministry of Transport and Vietnam Railway Corporation must have a written document. a report to the Government, then to the National Assembly resolutions on this issue; including the content of the Ministry of Transport assigning budget estimates to VNR as 2019 and earlier. In implementing the resolution of the National Assembly, the Government also issued Resolution No. 41 / NQ-CP dated April 9, 2020; including the implementation of the Resolution of the National Assembly. After this resolution, the Ministry of Transport has just assigned the 2020 budget estimate for national railway infrastructure maintenance to the VNR.

“Thus, the key is that if it wants to assign a budget that is different from the current State Budget Law, the agency that promulgates the law must issue a resolution on that matter and the Government must issue a resolution. decided to guide the implementation of the contents of the National Assembly’s resolutions ”, Mr. Le Hoang Minh emphasized.

Regarding the content of maintenance companies that are facing difficulties because they do not have maintenance funds, they have to borrow money from banks to pay workers’ salaries, Mr. Le Hoang Minh once again affirmed that the Ministry of Transport attended The budget estimate for the maintenance of the national railway structure system for the Vietnam Railway Administration is in accordance with the Law on State Budget and if the allocation of this budget estimate to the Vietnam Railway Corporation is inconsistent with the regulations. of the State Budget Law.

Returning to the story of the difficulties that 20 maintenance units of Vietnam Railway Corporation are facing, Mr. Le Hoang Minh said that before December 31, 2020, the Ministry of Transport issued a plan. general maintenance for the whole industry; including the railway industry. At the same time, at this time, the Ministry of Transport has also assigned a budget estimate to the Vietnam Railway Administration.

To implement this estimate, the Vietnam Railway Administration has invited 20 railway maintenance units to negotiate and sign an order contract, but so far these units do not sign a contract with the Vietnam Railway Administration. Male. The important reason that these 20 units cannot sign order contracts with the Vietnam Railway Administration is because the Vietnam Railways Corporation currently accounts for more than 50% of the equity in these companies. a member unit signing a contract with the Vietnam Railway Administration. This is the reason why the contract negotiation has been delayed up to this point.

“Thus, the information that the Ministry of Transport and the Vietnam Railway Administration do not assign the budget estimates to the VNR and its member units is not the correct nature. Currently budget estimates and maintenance plans have been built, funding for the maintenance of national railway infrastructure in 2021 is also under the management of the Ministry of Transport, which means money is ready to transport any. When is the time?

Sharing more, Mr. Le Minh Hoang said that the VNR gave the reason that the 2017 Railway Law stipulates a number of powers for the Vietnam Railway Corporation; including the authority to manage the maintenance of national railway infrastructure. However, it must be confirmed that before November 2018, when the VNR was still under the Ministry of Transport. However, when the VNR is no longer under the Ministry but transferred to the State Capital Management Committee in enterprises, and at the same time the State Budget Law in 2020 comes into being, then the new law must be complied with. Although the 2017 Railway Law is still in effect, the budget and financial matters must comply with the State Budget Law (general law) and the Railway Law 2017 is a specialized law.

Before December 31, 2020, the Ministry of Transport issued a general maintenance plan for the whole industry; including the railway industry. Photo: VNA

Previously, Vietnam Railway Corporation issued document No. 803 / BC-ĐS on April 12, 2021, making an urgent petition to the Prime Minister regarding problems in the management and maintenance of infrastructure. national railway.

According to the above document, VNR said that 3,143 km of railway nationwide are currently assigned to the Vietnam Railway Corporation to directly organize the operation, the collected funds are deducted from the state budget 20%, 80 The remaining% is the Corporation’s revenue which is used to spend on operations for the exploitation organization (labor costs, asset maintenance and maintenance …). The maintenance of railway infrastructure assets must always be associated with train operation because the plan for maintenance and maintenance of railway infrastructure assets depends on the train run chart (both running train and exam. railway infrastructure maintenance).

Document No. 803 / BC-ĐS of VNR also said that the project on management and use of national railway infrastructure assets, submitted by the Ministry of Transport to the Prime Minister up to now, still created a lot. intermediate management level, many administrative procedures in the management, maintenance and exploitation of assets. Especially, to increase licensing and approving subprojects (sub-permits) when proposing a mechanism for assigning maintenance cost estimates to the Vietnam Railway Administration. Because VNR said that the Vietnam Railway Administration is currently only performing the function of advising the Ministry of Transport, not managing the railway infrastructure, if the capital is allocated to this unit before allocating it to the VNR, it will slow down. Late maintenance, congestion.

Representative of the Vietnam Railway Corporation said that according to the annual estimate, the budget capital for railway maintenance is VND 2,800 billion, but so far it has not been assigned. Currently, 20 railway maintenance companies under the Vietnam National Railways Corporation, which are responsible for the maintenance of railway infrastructure systems, owe wages to workers for many months, and have not yet had funds to buy maintenance materials. maintenance …

Mr. Vu Anh Minh, Chairman of the Board of Members Railway Corporation Vietnam (VNR) has just issued an urgent petition to the Prime Minister “calling for help” on issues related to the development of a National Project on management, use and exploitation of railway infrastructure assets. The State invests and the allocation of resources for management and maintenance of real estate assets.

From 1955 to now, VNR is the only 100% state-owned enterprise established by the State with the purpose of assigning the management, exploitation, use and direct trading of all railway infrastructure assets. (KCHTĐS) in the form of excluding capital components in the enterprise.

VNR leaders said that with 3,143 km of railways going through 34 provinces and cities, in the absence of funding for the management of real estate assets, VNR has organized an asset management system from the General level. companies to member units and joint stock companies with dominant capital contribution.

Up to this point, due to the long and unusual effects of the Covid-19 epidemic as well as the construction of an investment package of VND7,000 billion belonging to medium-term capital, in single track conditions, both train and construction. , The railway industry is in a very difficult period.

Along with that, according to Mr. Vu Anh Minh, problems with funding for the maintenance of national real estate infrastructure in 2021 have not been resolved according to the direction of the Prime Minister, 20 companies perform the task of system maintenance. The national real estate infrastructure currently does not have the budget to buy materials to put into the project, regular expenses and especially to pay employees in the first 4 months of 2021, seriously affecting the lives of nearly 25,000 workers in the VNR. .

“The high risk is that 11,315 workers on the road patrol, bridge week, tunnel patrol, guarding the crossroads … will quit their jobs because they have no income. This issue has pushed businesses to the end, difficult to sustain. until the end of April 2021 “- President of VNR stated in the petition.

According to VNR, the project on management and use of national railway infrastructure assets submitted by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) to the Prime Minister up to this point continues to create many levels of management intermediaries, many administrative procedures. in the management, maintenance and exploitation of real estate assets, increasing licensing, and approving the subproject (sub-license). In particular, it is still proposed a mechanism to assign cost estimates for maintenance to the Vietnam Railway Administration (the agency only performs the advisory function under the Ministry of Transport and does not manage the assets of the real estate infrastructure).

“The proposal of the Ministry of Transport in the Project not only fails to overcome difficulties and problems in production and business activities, but also causes a lot of stagnation and congestion for VNR, pushing businesses to the risk of bankruptcy. , the risk of eliminating railway transport in the transportation system “- VNR leader said.

According to the VNR leader, in order to manage and maintain the assets of the national real estate infrastructure, VNR must organize a comprehensive and coherent human resources system from the parent company to the base units along the railway lines with a total of 11,315 employees were employed, including: 1,241 workers in bridge, road, and tunnel patrol; 915 indirect workers; 6,278 workers perform maintenance and quality control of maintenance work and 2,881 workers guarding the crossroads to ensure safe train operation.

Meanwhile, at present, the organizational apparatus of the Vietnam Railways Administration has only over 100 staff members (most of them are officers of the railway office and the railway traffic safety inspection force), so if the plan is implemented according to the Project, the Ministry As proposed by transportation, VNR still has to fully allocate the above 11,315 human resources to perform the tasks of asset management and the maintenance of national railway infrastructure assets.

“VNR will become an intermediary agency to delay, cause congestion in the process of maintenance and operation of transportation, directly affecting train safety” – VNR leader explained.

Based on the provisions of relevant laws, international experience and especially the practice of managing and operating operations, VNR believes that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have chaired meetings with Ministries many times. , departments to analyze the legal basis and have the conclusions and announcements. The Ministry of Justice also appraised the legality in Document No. 193 / BTP-PLDSKT dated January 22, 2021, which confirmed that the delivery of KCHTDS assets and cost estimate for maintenance to VNR Corporation is correct. current laws (including the State Budget Law).

From the above explanations, the Chairman of the Board of Members of VNR sincerely proposes to the Government, the Prime Minister to: Direct the Ministry of Transport to seriously, fully implement the direction of the Prime Minister in the document. 1956 / VPCP-CN dated March 24, 2021 on the management, use and exploitation of national real estate assets.
