IoT Came Into Chinese Government’s Insight in 2009
On 7 August 2009, former premier Wen Jiabao visited the Wuxi Hi-tech Micronano Sensor Network Engineering and Technology R&D Centre, and proposed to establish “Sensor China” centre quickly
In November 2009, Wen Jiabao pointed out to make breakthrough in key technologies of sensor network and IoT at the 60th anniversary of the founding of Chinese academy of science
In March 5th, 2010, Wen jiabao emphasized to increase the research and application of IoT in the government working report
In June 2010, former president Hu jintao pointed out to speed up the development of IoT on the congress of CAS and CAE
2. In March 2012, “National IoT standards promotion group” is established by SAC and NDRC jointly with relevant leading departments of industries
Government Intensively Promotes the IoT (in
2012)
1、In February 2012,‘The 12thfive-year development plan for the IoT” is issued by MIIT, the UHF and microwave RFID tags, smart sensors are stressed, and demonstration projects on nine application areas will be carried out
4、In May 2012, NDRC issued “Announcement to organize and implement the IoT technology R&D and industrialization special project of 2012 ”, the project will especially rely on national IoT application demonstration projects which have been initiated in 10 application areas, such as transportation, public safety, agriculture, forestry, environment protection, household, e-health, industrial production, smart grid, logistics, the funding is about 600 million. In September 2012, MIIT initiated the IoT Special funding to promote the R&D of IoT system and key technology
5、on 20thAugust 2012, MIIT issued “Development plan outline of Wuxi sensor network innovation demonstration area (2012-2020)”, China will increase the financial support to the IoT industries in the demonstration area, strengthen tax support
3、On 30th May 2012, Central government approved “The 12thfive-year development plan for national strategic emerging industry”, in the plan IoT is one of important tasks and major projects

Government Intensively Promotes the IoT (in
2013)
In February 2013, Central government issued “the state council on the guidance to promote
the healthy and orderly development of the Internet of Things”
Overall goals:
To realize the widely usage of IoT in the fields of economy and society, to master
the key core technology of IoT, to basically form a safe, controllable IoT industrial
system with international competitive, to become an important force to promote
the development of economic and social intelligence and sustainable.
Goals in short-term :
By 2015, to realize the scale demonstration application of IoT in the important
fields of economy and society, to breakthrough a number of core technologies, to
form the IoT industrial system initially, security and support capabilities are
improved significantly.

Pilots and demonstrations for IoT application areas (1)
IoT can be applied for supply chain management, production process optimization, devices monitoring and management, energy consumption control, etc. Currently there’re some use cases in the steel, petrochemical, automobile manufacturing industries. According to statistics, in Chinese market more than 40% of sensor is for industrial process control and automotive electronic products.
Industrial area
IoT can be applied for crop irrigation, production environmental monitoring, agricultural products circulation and traceability, there’s some pilots at these aspect already
for instance: MOC and MOF jointly carried out 20 cities pilots for meat and vegetables circulation and traceability system, using RFID, bar code, CPU card agricultural
area
With the incentive of “Gold-card-project”, “2nd generation id Card”, China has become the 3rd rank RFID market in the worldwide;
And mobile payment applications develop rapidly, for instance, China Mobile has had 40million subscribers registered for the mobile payment service.
Financial services
At present, the state grid has build up 18 intelligent substations, 23 cities are constructing intelligent distribution network, and more than 100million smart meters have been installed
Smart Grid

Pilots and demonstrations for IoT application areas (2)
IoT has been applied in the railway system for a time and has got some achievements, while the demonstration applications in the field of urban
transportation, highway, waterway are still in the initial stage, in these areas, video surveillances are used most widely.
At present, ETC has been provided in 26 provinces in China, and the ETC lane number is about 4600, and the number of users reaches 5.1 million
Intelligent transportation
The IoT technology such as RFID, GPS, wireless sensor, etc. have been applied in many process of logistics, the use cases mainly focus on the automatic identification of items, automatic positioning, process tracing, online tracking, online scheduling logistics
area
In medial and health care, IoT applications are at the initial stage overall, some application pilots such as remote health monitoring, remote medical treatment, patient identification based on RFID, personnel positioning, drug management based on RFID, medical card have been used in a wide range
Medical and health care
There’re some exploration on IoT for urban safety, coal mine safety, safety monitoring of bridges, highway, tunnels, invasion prevention of the airport
Urban digital and grid management based on GIS, GPS, mobile communication network has been carried out in some cities.
Public safety
IoT has been applied in the automatic pollution source monitoring, till now, China has built up 343 province-city two level pollution sources monitoring centers, execute automatic monitoring of more than 15000 key pollution sources
