The Hongkou district of
Shanghai hosted a trial run of
a 5G network as well as a
gigabit broadband network,
supported by China Mobile.
Shanghai Vice Mayor Wu
Qing kicked off the test in
March with the 5G network's
first video call on a Huawei
Mate X handset. Shanghai
hopes to build more than
10,000 5G base stations by
the end of 2019.

SHANGHAI FORMS
SMART CITY PARTNERSHIP
The city of Shanghai has established a partnership with the MXC Foundation - a Berlin-based
startup with a focus on blockchain technology -
that will see the Yangpu district as a testbed of
smart city and IoT technologies. "Our agreement
with the MXC Foundation will accelerate industrial innovation and provide technical support
for the development of smart cities in the
Shanghai Yangpu District," according to Ma
Qing, vice deputy director of the Science and
Technology Committee of Yangpu District.

Announced during the
first China International
Import Expo in late
2018, the Science and
Technology Innovation
board - a registered
listing for companies
within the Shanghai
Stock Exchange - has
begun accepting applications. As of March, 17
companies had been
accepted, in sectors
ranging from bio-medicine and energy to information technology. The
registration-based system for initial public
offerings (IPOs) is modeled after Nasdaq.
