China supports Indonesia in performing its duties as the new president of the United Nation Human Right Council (UNHRC), foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.

Lin made the remarks in response to a media query about Indonesia's presidency of the UNHRC for the 2026 term.

"China congratulates Indonesia on receiving the nomination of the Asia-Pacific Group of the UN Human Rights Council and on assuming the 2026 presidency of the UNHRC. China supports Indonesia in performing its duty as the new president of the UNHRC and stands ready to step up dialog and cooperation with all sides, practice true multilateralism and jointly promote the sound development of the international human rights cause," he said.

China's 5G user penetration rate surged from 15 percent to 83.9 percent during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), an official from the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission said on Thursday.

Wen Ruisong, head of the Informatization Development Bureau under the office, said that over the past five years, China has accelerated the construction of intelligent and integrated information infrastructure, establishing the world's largest and most technologically advanced fiber-optic broadband and mobile communication network.

"During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's 5G user penetration rate rose from 15 percent to 83.9 percent, gigabit broadband users increased from 6.4 million to 239 million, and mobile Internet of Things users expanded from 1.136 billion to 2.9 billion. This progress marks a clear acceleration in the shift from 'internet of everything' toward 'intelligent connection of everything," said Wen.

According to Wen, China's network infrastructure has been continuously enhanced, with the number of active IPv6 users growing from 462 million to 868 million over the five years.

Meanwhile, the quality and scale of China's computing infrastructure have also seen significant improvement.

China now operates 12.5 million standard racks in active computing power centers, with intelligent computing capacity reaching 1,053 EFLOPS, Wen said.
