According to GitHub’s 2019 annual report, there are more than 40 million developers and nearly 3 million organizational accounts on GitHub. China has the second largest number of contributors after the US, and Chinese developer Fork and Clone has seen a 48% increase in projects over the previous year.
Although the local open source power is rising, the gap is still very obvious in the continuous construction of the open source ecosystem, especially in the operating system, development language and other underlying technologies.
“The level of Chinese developers’ code contribution to open source projects is already very high, but awareness and feasibility still need further guidance,” said one expert. More developers just walk with their heads down in their own corner of the world and rarely look up.
Take artificial intelligence, 5G, the Internet of Things, and the new infrastructure as examples. Apart from the algorithms, frameworks and underlying technologies, should we pay more attention to what technological innovation, China’s economic restructuring and industrial upgrading will bring to developers? How will we benefit from this?
From the perspective of InfoQ’s mission — to promote social progress through innovative technologies, technological innovation is inseparable from our social changes, economic development and industrial environment changes. Without understanding these, technical people are really Out of date.
This brings us to InfoQ’s “ambition”. Since we understand technology and developers, we need to build a bridge between technology and industry. After five months of extensive desktop research, data collating, and in-depth interviews with dozens of industry experts in various fields, InfoQ Research institute has produced a 300-page White Paper on China’s Technology Development 2020, covering artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things, industrial Internet, virtual reality, autonomous things, and blockchain.
This is a large research report for technical people, centering on technology and combining in-depth industry analysis. Such a report has never appeared in the market, because often people who know the technology do not understand the industry, and those who know the industry do not understand the technology. In the future, the integration of the two has become a trend, and this is the core of the technological innovation that InfoQ has been advocating.
Report highlights
In the process of writing the report, the InfoQ analyst team has developed an exclusive technology + industry dual-track research methodology based on the InfoQ technology gene, technology as the axis, combined with in-depth industry analysis, to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of China’s technology development status and future trends.
The whole report is divided into two parts: overview and technical part. The review includes four parts: the global technology development status, the overall technology overview, the overall technology development path since China’s reform and opening up forty years ago, and the in-depth analysis of China’s technology status quo. The technology section elaborates the overall status quo and future development trend of these hot fields through in-depth analysis of the eight most concerned technical fields of artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things, industrial Internet, virtual reality, autonomous things and blockchain.
- Artificial intelligence: Open source frameworks will escalate: Deep learning open source frameworks will further strengthen their support for mobile scenarios.
- Cloud computing: The competitive landscape of IaaS oligopoly is further stabilized, SaaS will enter a new stage of rapid expansion and flowering, and PaaS strategic role will become increasingly prominent.
- 5G: Third-party professional operators focusing on segments are major opportunities in the 5G era, and platform-based enterprises in segments have more potential to transform into 5G service support platforms.
- Internet of Things: Sensors as the first link of the Internet of things, the market will grow rapidly, the market size in the next three years or more than 30% growth. Technology will be MEMS technology, wireless communication technology, new material technology, photoelectric chip technology, laser technology, composite sensor technology, multidisciplinary cross fusion direction.
- Industrial Internet: in the network, platform, security three systems, industrial Internet has formed three optimization closed loop.
- Virtual reality: THE arrival of 5G will boost the scale growth of VR; Cloud virtual reality acceleration; Content production heat, derivative mode is increasingly active; Virtual reality will release the innovation vitality of traditional industries; Hardware will be the main battleground.
- Independent things: There is a small gap between domestic and foreign enterprises in AI and 5G technology, and some of them even lead. China has global competitive advantages in market size, industrial chain, industrial environment and other aspects.
- Blockchain: Currently, China’s financial, manufacturing and retail sectors account for more than 75% of the total spending in the blockchain market. Among them, blockchain spending in the financial industry is the largest and accounts for the highest proportion. With the strong support of national policies and the continuous implementation of blockchain projects in the future, the market space will be further expanded.
