We worked with the Ministry of industry and information technology and other government departments and industrial alliances to formulate a number of industrial technical standards. 2) The cross-border shareholders of state-owned assets and Internet enterprises are integrated. The top two shareholders, China Siwei (subordinate to aerospace group) and Tencent, hold 8.61% and 4.59% respectively.
